JS : I’m inter­es­ted in being a conveyor of mes­sages, whe­ther they’re the truth or not. There’s no rea­son to sup­pose that a mes­sage neces­sa­ri­ly because it’s conveyed from an out­side source to a poet is true. As far as not being inter­es­ted in lan­guage, it’s pro­ba­bly because I’m a pro­fes­sio­nal lin­guist.
