Here a group of students was formed around Kedrow and here he formulated the general principle of poetry as a metametaphor in 1983:

"" The metametaphor - a metaphor where everything is universe. This metaphor did not exist before. Before that, everything was compared. The poet was like the sun, or like a river, or a tram. You are what you write about. There is no tree separate from the earth, no earth separate from the sky, no sky independent from the universe, no universe separate from man. This view is that of a 'universe man'. ""
