ABSTRACT
This chapter demonstrates how Robert Frost's poetics develops an aesthetic imaginary that problematizes the 'us' in the sense of understanding Frost's poetic theory and, again, going beyond it. To speak of Frost's poetic theory and certain conceptual clusters of Sanskrit poetics in a hermeneutically negotiable sphere will inevitably raise 'differences. The chapter argues a singularity in Frost's poetic thought that inspires efforts to diminish apparent differences and, consequently, generate meaningful interference in cross-conceptual and cross-cultural negotiations. Transcultural poetics is about understanding this 'circulation' as a singular plural entanglement. Frost's poetics under intra-active transculturality then becomes 'a heresy, an insult and an affront to the finiteness that is the norm of biological organisms and territorial jurisdictions'. The figure emerging out of this 'deterritorialization' or extra-territorialization is the product of a kind of mea res agitur.
