Delusions of grandeur are usually a sign of deep insecurity.
It's interesting Jordan Davis would talk about Helen Vendler a few days after I used her name in a poem on the other blog.
If I define myself as a poet, then I ineluctably conclude I am a failure, since I am over 40 and have not published a book of poems. If I define myself as an academic, I can see myself as a success. More people read my blog than ever would read some academic article I write. The work is produced to exist, to be counted--not to be read.
