Both law and poetry are social discourses. While law "brings order into the chaos of social interactions," poetry frustrates direct social interactions, diverting the social into the textual. Law provides structure (scaffolding) for defining relationships. Poetry provides an intermediary, creating communities that define themselves around texts. Writers and readers interact through writing and through the social acts of performance and criticism. Community implies some method of legal organization. What is the legal organization of a poetry community?
