There is something offensive about poetry, judging by the number of attacks on it and defences of it. The author argues that poetry exists to offend - not through its subject matter but through the challenges it presents to the prevailing view of what language is for. He also specifies four poetic offences - gesture, drama, fiction, and trope.
