Abstract
The chapter focuses on the affective resources of experimental poetry approach is based on the study of emotion effects that sees all elements of a literary text to be positively or negatively “valenced” or value-laden. Utilizing words or phrases that in the language or cultural context carry affective power is the basis of the networks of affective value that are formed in the text. The combinations created in the text manipulate what we already know or feel about language and the world around us. The emerging emotion effects guide the interpretation and an analysis of how these effects are produced allows us to understand more clearly how literature works. The emotion effects are illustrated via a case study of a much praised, award-winning Finnish work, Harry Salmenniemi’s Texas, sakset (2010).
