nailed it

In The Anxiety of Influence, Harold Bloom wrote that 'all [literary] criticism is prose poetry'. I like that. When I read Bloom or Bakhtin - for example - there isn't a singular meaning that I need to try and get. It's more like the meaning emerges from my engagement with the text, so it's really my own....I made this meaning.
