Kiki’s Reviews > Art in the Light of Conscience: Eight Essays on Poetry > Status Update

I'm obsessed.

Reading is — above all — co-creating.

Any person who publishes thereby declares: ‘This is good.’ A critic who publishes thereby declares: ‘This is a model.’

It depends on the critic but it does remind me of James Wood who wrote "How Fiction Works" then proceeded to write fiction no one cared about.

The first thing I did, when I’d borne it all from the first blow to the last, was spread my arms out wide, so that the joints all cracked. I was caught in it as in a downpour.

!!! This is what I want to read about when I seek writing about poetry. Oh! I'm happy.
