Synopsis

R. A. York hypothesizes that a poem may "reverse the usual polarity of language, in which presupposition ... acts as an inconspicuous background for a dynamic speech act" by instead making the reader work to understand not just the content of its words but the conditions of the utterance, the presuppositions, that make them appropriate.
