Not sure if I follow that, did he mean he had intended it to be really bad?
However, if he can't see how piss poor a piece of writing it is, let alone a
poem, then there's really no hope I'm afraid.
I'm reminded, again, of Pound on poetry having to eb at least as good as
prose, & say something that prose can't.
