Abstract

abstract:This article explores the understudied formal, experiential, and historical relationships between crosswords and poetry. Using an illuminating coincidence of names (the poet James Merrill and crossword constructor Patrick Merrell) as indicative of a fundamental experience of language—arbitrariness within a communicative code—I reconsider how the creative impulses and pleasure derived from the cultural and intellectual work of crosswords and poetry touch upon a deeper social consciousness.
“月亮滑下楼梯/看谁在那里”:填字游戏的诗学和诗学的交叉词
摘要:本文探讨了填字游戏与诗歌之间的形式、经验和历史关系。用一个富有启发性的名字巧合(诗人詹姆斯·梅里尔和填字游戏建设者帕特里克·梅里尔)作为语言的一种基本体验——交流代码中的任意性——我重新思考了填字游戏和诗歌的文化和智力工作所产生的创造性冲动和快乐是如何触及更深层次的社会意识的。
