I am writing my thesis on critical analysis of the relationship between poetry and music including Maskandi music. The research is written in isiXhosa.
I want to compare the structure of both a song and a poem and also look into the writers too. I hope i am not vague
Try semiotics as common ground. Good for comparision of different entities. It does not neccessarily grasp the aesthetic value of poetry respectivly music though. That, I am afraid, You have to add Yourself to Your analysis.
Good luck!
It seems that meter--or more generally structures of repetition--will be the common ground between poetry and music. You may find something useful in this book of mine: https://www.press.umich.edu/23357/ghost_of_meter
And on this page: https://anniefinch.com/what-is-poetry/
Good luck!
You might want to consider also the critical debate on meter as paradigm in looking at: Elsie Fogerty: The Speaking of the English Verse. London 1927.
Busisiwe Bianca Titi-Booi allow me to direct you to the theory of "sound (sonic) poetry" which is intended to be performed rather than merely written. This genre of poetry makes a bridge between musical and poetic composition via its concentration of human speech phonetics rather than semantics and/or syntax. Relate please to the theories of Charles Bernstein, Gerald Bruns, Min-Quian Ma, Rachel Blau DuPlessis, Jeffrey McCaffery.
