Poetics: (theory of Poetry and Fine Art)
Aristotle
So this is 100% true…also something rarely talked about w @leepace (who is 6’5 like me 🥺) is that he’s also an amazing close reader. One day I’ll tell the story of how Lee took me out after seeing a play of mine then explained Aristotle’s Poetics to me. https://t.co/Dgqv4ErgcA
