Would it be literature as well?

How would you argue against poetry being literature?

Yeah, technically The Iliad is an epic poem.

Yeah, technically The Iliad is an epic poem. What do you mean "technically"? That's its exact genre. |

Yeah, technically The Iliad is an epic poem. Not to mention, y'know, all that other poetry. Just the little people, like Pound and Eliot and Keats. No biggie. Can we move out of the canon, though, folks? How do we feel about, say, Tamora Pierce? Jacqueline Carey? I'm not sure if they "transcend the genre," but there are people (hello!) who love them. |

Man, I wish death on the canon, but I'm getting digressive again.

Hahaha our first step in the right direction in defining literature is to make sure poetry is included.
