concerning poetry discussions*

»Poets need not take themselves so seriously.«


Mark Worden, in: A Lucidist Manifesto & Decalogue - and further:

And since poetry does not automatically, if ever, deliver Truth, whatever that is, poetry should not stand in need of rabbinical exegesis or cryptoanalysis in order to be understood. Poets should take as one of their chief goals: TO ENTERTAIN.

Of course, that’s only one point of view - but an important one, I believe (me being only a reader of poetry, I don’t/can’t write poetry).

*Note: I had one last evening.
