If you also write about books on a blog, why? What does blogging let you do differently?
NZW: The purpose of a review, be it a book review or an album review, is to
communicate with that text's potential audience, to place the text in
its cultural context, and to engage with both the writer and the
potential readers about the text's success.

Being secret,
like a leg brace from childhood.
Not having

A bus transfer

The lobster,
boiling. Surgical procedures to revive the senses of
those born blind and deaf.

When I said in an earlier last post that I go to poetry to think, Lisa Robertson was the first poet that came to mind. Hers is a poetry that embraces doubt; that is content to extend rather than conclude, yet never drifts in the sense that Barthes describes in The Pleasure of the Text. “In the pleasant displacement of identity,” she writes, “another time keeps shaping what I willLemon Houndhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02339211884645310602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6101984.post-83124701964101421702012-07-11T10:01:00.001-04:002012-07-11T10:01:41.754-04:00Adrienne Rich on "Easy Poetry"
Career-minded poets, expending thought and energy on producing a "publishable manuscript," on marketing their wares and their reputations, as young poets are now urged (and even trained) to do, may have little time left over for thinking about the art itself, ancient and contemporary, and why it matters -- the state of the art itself as distinct from their own poems and vitas.

MR: Oh, sure. By my early thirties, I think I'd stopped believing I was going to succeed as a poet. It'd been years since I'd had a poem accepted anywhere, and I could tell that what I'd written up to that point was no good. It was indifferent, middling work.

Who wants a dull review? A good reviewer is a skilled host: ensure
your guests’ enjoyment, present the fare slowly, artfully, and with
flourish so it speaks for itself. Make your guests want more. Make us want more.
