Dear Dr. Preston,
ReplyDeleteVery happy to stumble upon your site! I'm a writer, poet and creative writing tutor in Barbados. Also a Red Hot Chilli Peppers fan!
I have to conduct a writers' clinic this Saturday (Examining Poetic Structures Pt. 1.) I'd love to take RHCP's Scar Tissue for the class to examine. My question: Exactly what poetic structure is it? It is very precise and structured, very neat and clever, but WHAT IS IT?!!
Thanks very much.
