| Walter Lippmann (1889-1974) |
We
had considerable conversation, and a little controversy, around my post two
weeks ago, “The
6 Most Overused Words in Poetry Reviews.” I didn’t realize just how hot a
topic poetry reviews happens to be.
A
common question arose: “OK, so you have six overused words in poetry reviews
and three more than are contenders for the list of most overused. Just how do
you go about writing a poetry review?”
I
consider poetry and book reviews highly subjective endeavors. It is someone’s
opinion, after all, of someone else’s creative work. There’s no textbook
approach I could cite that would meet all conditions and situations.
But
I can explain how I do poetry reviews myself.
And
you can blame Walter
Lippmann (1889 – 1974).
