I told a student who wanted to work with me: you have to be a reader of poetry first in order to be a critic. I would never criticize someone for not having read any particular author, but you should have pursued some reading interests.
I told one he would have to read more to be viable for graduate school.
ReplyDeleteThey keep thinking they need to design studies or get extracurricular activities on their vitae, and I keep telling them they just have to read more.
They want to design studies but not read the literature, and I think it is some kind of perversion.
