He has a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and a master’s degree in English.Using his background in writing and philosophy, Schade puts forth his own attempt to answer the age-old question, 'What is poetry?' In the vein of Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, Schade puts forth in his thesis, that there is an inherent and transcendent meaning in poetry that is distinct from the purely lexical meanings of the words. 'The thesis disputes the definition of modernism as a shift from a musical model of poetry to a visual model and argues that the musical element of poetry is essential to its aesthetic content,' Schade writes.
