Abstract
This article will introduce readers to current debates in the philosophy of poetry. This includes discussion on the need for a philosophy of poetry as distinct from a philosophy of literature, the (in)compatibility of poetry and philosophy, poetic meaning and interpretation, and oetry in relation to affect, emotion and expressiveness, which opens up discussion of wider forms of poetry from spoken word to sign-anguage poetry. The article ends with suggestions for future directions of research in the philosophy of poetry. I argue that as the philosophy of poetry is gaining interest, the previous debates that presuppose an understanding of poetry as taking form on the page and as having fixed aboutness ought to be abandoned in favour of an understanding of a poem in the affective space, with issues of reception, nterpretation, distribution and performance in play.
