No need to apologize.  What you're up to sounds interesting.  BTW, the
"strong poet" stuff does come from Rorty, CIS--Rorty thinks the problem
with Foucault is that he wants make his private poetic project
public--impose what should be a personal transformation onto the whole of
society.  Notice how completely Rorty misreads Foucault's remark that the
whole of society should be considered only as something to be destroyed!
Prado's strong poet reference probably follows directly from Rorty; he
wrote a couple of books on Rorty before writing a couple of books on
Foucault.

                         dear readers, my apologies.
                      I'm drifting in and out of sleep.
