I think in the first place it is quite dangerous to think that other
people have no soul, and then no rhythm, no music...
My personal method is always to attribute to myself no soul.
Could it just be that you do not have a taste (yet)
for what they call poems..?
Greta poets have been considered "amateurs" by established posts
before they overtook them in rank in the hierarchy of the artistic value.
I would advance on soft paws, when speaking about
who and who is not an "amateur"..
(Rimbaud was one of the kind, to start with...)
Also, there is something for ever corrupted in being "profesisonal.."
I think here is important to quote Levinas' ethics of the "Others"....
