"Palmer writes “it seems to me that poems that are useful do not simply talk about themselves, but do question their very identity as they go along (Palmer, Pavement P.7) and further, “the poem as a place for prohibited content (there’s a politics of sexuality and a politics of politics involved here), and as a place where things can be inscribed, for attending to the grammar of perception and the problematic limits of our everyday perception tends to put on what we are able to say. I think of the poem in its exploratory aspect as something that can shatter these limits and rather than address these limits and inscribe itself within those limits.” (Palmer, Pavement P. 6)"
