RE: Pounded by Ezra: trite, cliche, and boring; aiming at the object.
I don't know, man, I think a lot of the greatest poets struggle over and over with the same poem instead of proliferating pages. T.S Eliot, Pound, Whitman, they went over their production obsessively, and that's the way they polish it.
Working on the same piece could be more powerful than passing over it. Anyway, it's just my opinion. Good post.
Exactly what I'm advocating. My worry is that I won't have the attention or patience to see that through. Easier to forget and start the next shiny project.
Revision is boring which is why so much is mediocre.
I agree with your comment.
