“I hope any poem I've ever written could stand on its own and not need to be a part of biography, critical theory or cultural studies. I don't want to give a poetry reading and have to provide the story behind the poem in order for it to make sense to an audience. I certainly don't want the poem to require a critical intermediary - a "spokescritic." I want my poems to be independently meaningful moments of power for a good reader. And that's the expectation I initially bring to other poets' writing.” WantNeedsGivingWritingMomentsStoriesOrderReadingBehindsAudienceStudyWrittenPoetTheoryReaderExpectationsCriticalMeaningfulMake SenseBiographiesPoetry ReadingCritical TheoryMeaningful Moments Author:Albert Goldbarth
“I have never seen any of my work, I can't watch it because I am ultra critical. We all have little mannerisms that people may love about us, but can be embarrassing.

That is what it is like for me, I can't look at myself on screen even if the audience loves what I am doing.” PeopleIfsLooksMayLittlesI CanKidsWatchesAudienceCriticalScreensEmbarrassingUltrasMannerisms Author:Josh Peck
“There's this belief that some things can be taken seriously in an intellectual way, while some things are only entertainment or only a commodity. Or there's some kind of critical consensus that some things are "good," and some things are garbage, throwaway culture. And I think the difference between them, in a lot of ways, is actually much less than people think. Especially when you get down to how they affect the audience.” PeopleThinkingWayKindCultureBeliefDifferencesAudienceTakenIntellectualEntertainmentCriticalCommodityGarbageConsensus Author:Chuck Klosterman
