It’s an important question! I’ve found it helpful to recognize the essential fuzziness of taste—means that “communicate” and “teach” are probably inappropriately precise. But cognitive apprenticeship seems one reliable avenue to “develop” or “influence” stylistic lenses.

It’s probably not that you’re just not doing it well! I suspect many of the ideas you want to convey are essentially nebulous and simply can’t be formalized in that way. Case studies, storytelling, “medical mysteries,” etc are useful artifacts in this domain, vs “frameworks"

I hate to be one of those people who say "that's what my book is about" but in fact this is what my book is about: how the sonnet form as an aesthetic and a tradition was taken up by new practitioners (African American poets) and changed/improved/innovated upon.
