I would like to talk further about art in general. As a writer I have had to make choices about "inside" and "outside." I will ask people this: Who has read "Ulysses" or "Finnigan’s Wake" all the way through? More later when I have more time.
I certainly haven’t.
RE: poetry, as a reader, I favor poets who prioritize clarity of meaning. I have little patience for poetry that is obscure in this regard.
For this reason, and also because a primary motivation for me for writing poetry is to gain a deeper understanding of myself and the human experience, my tendency is to strive for clarity as well.
If pushed too far, this can be a detriment, of course. There must be space for the unconscious to make leaps; for an element of mystery. I'm not striving for logic, just a fundamental quality of intelligibility.
