`SparrowSong on writing, critique and her passions
^lovetodeviate
reports, September 28
reports, September 28An 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.”

John Betjeman's Daughter Apologises for 'Slough'
`AbCat
reports, September 17, 2006
reports, September 17, 2006On a visit to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Sir John Betjeman's birth, his daughter has revealed that the poem that subjected the Berkshire town of Slough to ridicule was never meant to be published.
The town was shredded in verse by former Poet laureate, Sir John Betjeman; the opening line reading,
'Come friendly bombs, and fall on Slough,
It isn't fit for humans now.'
Candida Lycett-Green remarked that her father 'regretted having ever written it.'
The southern English commuter town has also endured more recent ridicule from the BBC sitcom 'The Office'.
Sir John Betjeman's full poem, 'Slough', can be read here:

Critiquing someone's prose or poetry is an awesome thing to do.
