I was just asking Gary the other day when people were going to get over the injunction against psychologically-oriented lit-crit. Then Jordan mentioned it today.

When you actually KNOW the poet it’s hard *not* to bring psychologically motivated readings to their work.* And it seems… like I know… a lot… of poets.

*We do this, for example, in bars and cafes and after-reading events all the time. Just not on paper.
