“When the debate is sadder than poetry”
“This is a kulturartikel which is a part of Aftonbladet’s opinionsjournalistik.”
“Like listening to a whiny relationship”
“Lyra Koli commented (SvD jan 28) the so-called poesidebatt that flared up in a dockhuskamin. ”Criticism should not be tolerant,” she writes, without entertaining homicidal” if poetry is ”dödstråkig”.”
“It becomes clear that the debate has from the outset been about poesikritik than about poetry. If the work the critic has to read, and read better and less sloppy than yes, all of the others. In the work included, contrary to what Koli mean, to stifle the yawning and spontaneous impulses, to ihärda when the text fleeing.”
“Because the Koli himself talking about what is symptomatic for the climate I would say this: More symptomatic than anything else is to see his own yawn as the truth. It is as well as critique the response on the relationship ”but I have to do as I feel”.”
“Who recently criticized the poet, I chose not to criticize the criticism. But the course of the murderous boredom far exceeds samtidspoesins. Koli writes that ”we suffer from such a chronic lack of tension, excitement and glamour,” and one must assume on the kritikerskråets ”we”. But instead of more glamour, I wish the more visible signs that kritikerarbetet is still a damn accurate reading.”
