Daily Notes on Poetry & Related Matters

7 December 2004. Just two new words of mine today: "aesplorer" and "poexplorer." The first is the latest of my series of 17,095 attempts to find a word meaning, "the recipient of a work of art," "aesthcipient" being my best attempt but a failure because so difficult to pronounce. "Poexplorer" is a simple offshoot from "aesplorer" that means near-exactly what it says it means: "explorer of a poem." It's necessary because visual and other kinds of pluraesthetic poems can't be simply "read" to be understood, they must be viewed or touched or complexly heard or even smelled or tasted

Actually, "aesplorer" is a substantial improvement over most of my other attempts because of the ease with which it yields the verb, "to aesplore" and the noun, "aesploration." There's "aesploratory," too. The same, of course, holds for "poexplorer."
