Louesy
Dictionary entry
Louesy — The poetic practice of the wolf's nose, characteristic of the Loumain: Louesy sniffs words, whereas the louphic approach sniffs phenomena.
From the French loup (wolf) and poésie (poetry).
French pronunciation: /lu.e.zi/ — loo-eh-ZEE.
The poetic practice of the wolf's nose, characteristic of the Loumain. A form of poetry that is sniffed, howled, tasted and felt before it is explained.
It travels through the nose, the mouth, the breath, the rhythm, the scents of letters and the mingling of the senses.
Louesy does not necessarily seek to convey an explainable meaning. It brings a sensation into being.
Rhyme may support it, but is never an end in itself. The musicality of language and sensation come before explanation.
Essential distinction
Louesy sniffs words. The louphic approach sniffs phenomena.
Louesy is the poetic practice of the wolf's nose; the louphic approach is the Loumain way of sensing reality through the nose before explanation. Both arise from the Loumain, but they are not synonymous.
