In this essay, I argue that when one reads Bernstein in the light of Wittgenstein, whose philosophy Bernstein knew well, he emerges as quite accessible – and wholly delightful – as a poet. Wittgenstein taught us that “the meaning of a word is its use in the language” and hence context is all. When one reads Bernstein commonsensically, understanding that “ordinary language is alright,” as Wittgenstein said, we can understand Bernstein’s satire and parody and his “language games” quite well. My example is the long poem “Lives of the Toll Takers” together with some later short love songs and ballads.Universidade Federal Fluminense2022-01-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/5126310.22409/gragoata.v27i57.51263Gragoatá; Vol. 27 No. 57 (2022): Poesia e pensatividade: o poema filosofante; 86-108Gragoatá; v. 27 n. 57 (2022): Poesia e pensatividade: o poema filosofante; 86-1082358-41141413-907310.22409/gragoata.v27i57reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFenghttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/51263/30890Copyright (c) 2022 Gragoatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPerloff, Marjorie2022-02-13T06:12:34Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/51263Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2024-05-21T19:57:46.792464Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)true
