Even within my own tradition of writing, I am only truly compelled by maybe about 20% of what I read. Many writers I ought to admire are forbidden to me. This is as it should be. Someone else will take care of the other 80%. (Ron Silliman, for example.) I've decided to stop worrying about my limitations as a reader. I will go to readings and applaud the poets I don't "get." I won't go out of my way to dismiss their work, usually.
