Poetry enjoys a rebirth as a genre
every time the structure of thought
in society seriously changes, Dr.
Paul Christensen said Tuesday
night.
Christensen, of the Texas A&M
University English department,
told the University’s English society
that there are three levels of aware
ness in society. These levels have an
evolutionary relation to each other.
“The poem is essentially the
awareness of ‘self as alone in the
world,” he said. ‘‘The lyric deliver
ance in the poem is the act of bring
ing the insides of self out, of making
inner self aware of the outer one, as
in self dialogue.
‘‘Any time there has been pro
found and great shaking of the
world, the first genre to surface after
all the chaos and dust has settled is
the poem.
As the poets mature, the world of
fiction will surface, which includes
the self with others, Christensen
said. When fiction matures, drama
is born. “Then the world crashes
again and the poet surfaces again,”
he said.
Christensen compares the self in
poetry with eating. He said the self
takes objects in the world, digests
them and turns them into being.
“Everything around us is ob
jects,” he said. “The objects become
a part of the self and the poet tries to
be the first to go out and eat the
objects of the new world.” He said
that if the poet can do this, he will
begin to give back the world into
digested images of meaning.
The poet does this in stages, he
said. First, the self is trying to taste
the world. He groups things around
him and categorizes them. Christ
ensen calls this the level of the
simile. Secondly, the self swallows
these objects and produces images.

He calls this level the metaphor.
Next, the self sees reality or the
level of the symbol. Finally, the self
sees everything literal and can trans
late into the ideal. This is the level
of allegory.

Prices may rise
for cattle, hogs
and
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Cattle
hog prices during the first six
months of 1979 will he higher than
the first half of this year, tin* Ag
riculture Department predicted
Tuesday.
Next year's poultry prices are ex
pected to he at or above levels of the
lirSt half of 1978.
In a summary of a Livestock and
Meat Situation report, economists
said the price outlook was based on
expectations of smaller supplies of
red meat, increased poultry produc
tion and strong consumer demand
for meat.
“For the consumer, the lower
supplies of red meat suggest higher
retail prices,” the summary said.
"While re tail meat prices may con
tinue to ease off this fall, they will
probably begin to rise near year end
or in early 1979.”
The economists held out hope for
inflation-strapped consumers with a
prediction that red meat price in
creases may he moderate if po^
supplies increase sufliciently
Pork production is expected
crease 1 percent in the first
months of next year and 3 pen
the second quarter, a smallerq
than prev iously anticipated.
The economists said the mi
of hogs slaughtered this fall
probably he below last year's
but low feed costs could eno
producers to market larger hoj
thus maintain total production
levels of 1977.
Economists predicted that
feeding of cattle* will increase&T 53 V l

non-feed cattle sli uighter. The) j Mu he £
beef production in the first
next year will remain at 3to5|
