Creeley was interested in the open form of poetry which was explored by Olson and Duncan. Creeley talked often with Allen Ginsberg about writing and felt envy of Ginsberg's way of writing. Ginsberg could write anywhere and anytime. Creeley was different. He needed for writing (1) a typewriter, and 8×11 inch sheet, and (2) absolute privacy. These two necessary conditions for writing became a burden for Creeley. Around the years when Words (1967) was published, Creeley tried to be free from his two conditions for writing. He wrote "A Piece," "The Box," "They (2)," and "The Farm," without using typewriter. He wrote them in different states of consciousness and tried to stop deciding immediately the effect of work done. Notwithstanding the fact that Creeley used his habitual 8×11, and wrote in the security of his home, "the possibility of scribbling" emerged in the poems mentioned above. "Scribbling" meant by Creeley is a kind of ideal writing which is done just for the immediate pleasure of writing. Interpretation of the four poems in Words reveals that each poem is a new type of writing as an abstract construct for drawing the asymptote of reality. The asymptotic line is tapering to vanish, and the line cannot come in touch with reality itself. But, this conceptual line acts as a deputy of poet's wish to glimpse the world as a phenomenological representation. After the publication of Words in 1967, Creeley began to write in his notebooks instead of writing with the aid of typewriter. Although it is impossible to summarize the characteristics of his works after Words briefly, but it is possible to say that Creeley learned to use the poetics of "asymptotic line" in Words and explored the theme of "what we know of the world we live in" in the following Pieces (1968), and In London (1970).}, pages = {45--65}, title = {途切れる漸近線 : Robert Creeley, Words 試論}, volume = {39}, year = {2007} }
