Complex, haunting, imaginative and profoundly literary, "Didactic Poetries" is Beck s response to Schiller s statement: We are still waiting for a didactic poem where thought itself would be and would remain poetic, and Hegel s claim that, strictly speaking, didactic poetry isn t poetry. For the acclaimed French poet, Philippe Beck, Schiller s task of attempting a didactic poetry remains as vital today as it was for Schiller's time.
