I wouldn’t feel too bad. Part of the criticism is the poems are effective at pushing our emotional buttons (which is uncool to the sophistos.)
But I’d also encourage you to think about the deeper meaning. Is “if you don’t enjoy writing papers, you aren’t enjoying life” really a fair assessment? Does mixing your mundane life with confronting genocide give the appropriate respect to such a weighty topic?
- munificent 2y ago> Does mixing your mundane life with confronting genocide give the appropriate respect to such a weighty topic? That's why I like this poem. In its stream-of-consciousness way, it points out that we are unable to give that topic the respect it deserves because we don't have the luxury of escaping all of the other mundanities of our life.
