Keston where art thou? I would like to know whether the perceived weakness,
the rhapsodic element in Olson's work was because he didn't engage in
something or other? Art for Art's sake? Why does it fail? This business with
theory is old hat. But are you implying that writing that is supported by a
theoretical engagement is valuable? Is this a value judgement? W Are you
really saying something that dare not speak its name in this period of no
centre of objectivity: Olson's failure was due to his politics? Why can't
you say that it is political rather a matter of poetics.
