OR AS A SECOND TITLE: A WORD I COULDN’T FIND ANYWHERE SPEAKING ABOUT POETRY AND THE LESS ABOUT COMICS WHEN I WROTE ABOUT THIS IN SPANISH

However, I’m not that great looking things ups and it has been enough about why poems and comics are alike in this series of copyist entries (since Adolfo Ballesteros was the chap who did it first and I’m only refuting his ideas with little to none authority according to other men¹). Nonetheless, that was before I translated this and found out that any Oxford dictionary can have a number of definitions destroying my affirmations regarding not finding the word.

CLOSURE

4. a sense of resolution or conclusion at the end of an artistic work

• he brings modernistic closure to his narrative.

II. verb — [with obj. ]

1. apply the closure to (a debate or speaker) in a legislative assembly.

– origin late Middle English: from Old French, from late Latin clausura , from claus- ‘closed’, from the verb claudere .

GESTALT

So, finding the start of my thread that has gotten entangled with today’s bad mood; closure as I understood it then was related to a learning theory I happened to come upon when I was a graphic communication design student and to be truthful, I don’t have idea what I did instead of reading the books I was supposed to read since my favourite place was the library^[2]. There were beautiful books about typography, folk stencils and, of course, novels! Shake the brain and find the thread again Merriam!

This theory or set of theories is called Gestalt and what teacher mentioned it in class I don’t remember. What I remember is that whenever we take a look at an unfinished shape that looks known; our brain will do the rest and complete the relationship.

Men who say women can’t write, men who dismiss names as Safo as an exception. I’d like to see their faces if someone were to mention the job of their lives was written by an anonymous. Yes, I’m being vindictive and awfully resentful, something not feminine (or feminine in witch mode?) but do you know what? GO ASK FOR FEMININE SOMEWHERE ELSE. ↩︎
