`SparrowSong on writing, critique and her passions

^lovetodeviate:iconlovetodeviate: reports, September 28
An interview with writer, critic (critiquer?), lit senior, `SparrowSong. Here are some tidbits:

“I like that my passions change. If nothing else, it gives me more to write about.”

“Everyone has heard the expression, ‘Give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.’ If you don’t learn to critique, you will always be dependent on others to help you instead of being able to do it by yourself.”

“Art changes how we view the surface of the world to reveal truth or beauty—or both—underneath.”

wasn't real impressed with their complimentary features.

one poem used "thru" instead of "through" for no particular reason i can think of.
clearly this guy has never visited the forums here.

~junkyardparamour:iconjunkyardparamour: Jun 5, 2006, 2:29:21 PM
yeah, that use of 'thru' boggled and bothered me a little. i think it even made me twitch.
~stupidvagina:iconstupidvagina: Jun 5, 2006, 4:36:29 PM
yeah exactly.
in fact, it ended up completely distracting me from the rest of the poem. which i started off liking.

I've read a lot of poetry that uses thru, although most of the time it seems to be for line length purposes
