chris:
Why cant we, in reading a novel or poem or whatever, discuss what it
does to you, or makes you feel.
me:
## i totally agree with that
My (however badly-worded) criticiscm was not about the interpretation of
art/lit. or the (emotional, mental or tax) effects of art/lit. It was about
"prophesying" about art. It just pisses my off, when i see people
putting words in other peoples mouths. Some people have a way
of presenting what they think about a certain book or painting
as if it was the Scripture reached down to them from high above.
So, what was the best poem you ever or heard AND what
did it do to you?
My best book ever is "August" by J. Robinson (if you read it,
no girl jokes please). I really completely identified with
everything, well, alot, that was said in the book.
