I do not agree that 'Art' is in the Eye of the Beholder; an Art is a Craft, and I make my Remarks as a Craftsman.

I do not entirely know what you mean by its key 'Inflection' being 'Imagery'; do you mean 'Attribute'? An Inflection is generally something done to a Word to denote grammatical Function.

Please point to the Agreement with the Statement here mentioned I have previously made.

The Boundary between Poetry and Prose is not superficial, it is absolute. The two are different Things; confounding the one with the other is rather like confounding Orange with Blue.

The Term 'Free Verse' is an Oxymoron; 'Verse' is a Kind of Writing structured by Patterns of Language, Verse with no Structure therefore cannot exist, and any Arguments that it can do not hold Water, whatever you, or the Author, may say. This is not to say that there is no Value in Works which label themselves as 'Free Verse', but rather that they are something which has never been given a proper Name of its own.

I have never stated whether or not I liked this; I have given it a negative Review with which you very clearly disagree. If you would like to provide a Counteranalysis which refers to the Text to demonstrate it is not, in Fact, what I have said it is, I would be more than willing to read and consider it.

When I review something I don't care for, I always dive deeper to figure out why. I make the effort to be more constructive since we are here as a community of artists and writers to help each other grow.

Right?

Also, art is about ideas. I'm not the grammar police. If I see a typo when I am providing an in-depth critique, I'll point it out to be HELPFUL. Not for any other reason.

Spoiler Alert: you don't know it all. None of us do. Art is one of those things that you can't really definitively say is "good" or "bad." You can just say what you like or don't like something and why.

None of us are the ART POLICE.

I hear you trying so hard to be right in your assessment instead of just expressing what you see and feel. Neither of our opinions are going to define this writer any more than they could Virginia Woolf or William Blake. What our opinions of another's art are meant to do is to define who we are as artists.

So, did you get anything out of your discussion of this work that is going to inform your own work?

I have been informed that People do not necessarily like the Way I comment on Things before; I shall not likely be influenced by this Person (or by you).

For somebody who is supposedly not the 'Art Police', you seem to be attempting to shove an unhealthfully relativist View of Art which undermines the Value of Craftsmanship, which is sorely wanting Here. Art is not only about Ideas, and if you have only those, your Work is, at best, incomplete. An Idea can neither paint nor write nor sculpt itself.

From here on, you will address what I have said, not me as a Person. You do not know me, and I do not know you; we have no Business discussing each-other as Individuals based only on the Contents of these Posts. If you cannot abide by this (which is generally standard in Academic Writing), do not reply; if you do not, I shall cease acknowledging you.
