@MattThrower or just more time, perhaps :-) thanks for your kind words

> a vain woman, extremely well satisfied with herself, and thinking much of her own importance; that she meant to shine and be very superior, but with manners which had been formed in a bad school, pert and familiar; that all her notions were drawn from one set of people, and one style of living; that if not foolish she was ignorant

@verbose just realised I never accepted your answer to my question about Fish and found poetry so there's some more rep :) I also never replied as to why I felt his approach was postmodern. Broadly, by insisting on the value of interpretive communities, he's echoing the postmodern concept of discourse analysis whereby meaning in communication is derived as much, or more, from social context than from the words themselves.

You can also see elements of post-structuralism in the ideas around the subjective meaning of words like "glarph" ;)

A lot of other scholars have labelled Fish as a postmodernist so I'm hardly alone in that interpretation, although I believe he himself rejects the label.

MOHAHAHA!
