poetics of disgust

Experimental poetics and (in the case of Cage) musical techniques often rely on principles of polysemeity— the rupturing of once- stable meanings of words to liberate theirunconventional or even hitherto unheard of meanings— and aleatoric methods (the use ofchance), in which seemingly natural sentence and even word order is randomly corrupted with the goal of producing new experiences that were not “intended” by the author.
