“There are reviews that are clearly wrong. Dr. Johnson's famous Life of Savage, he's clearly wrong about the value of Savage. But it's one of the great works in English literature. You can learn more about the artistic expression and what the poet does and how to write about art from that than any number of guys who are terrible writers, who have no original ideas, but who say yes, "Hamlet" is a wonderful play. It's a meaningless statement.” WritingArtGuyValuesLiteratureWonderfulPoetTerribleArtisticMeaninglessGreat WorkEnglish Literature Author:Gary Giddins
“People should not feel intimidated by received wisdom. You have to discover it yourself. If I tell you that Armstrong is great, it's meaningless; you have to hear it.” PeopleMeaninglessIntimidated Author:Gary Giddins
