I never know what to call myself. Poet? I write poems, but at a Larkin pace, not an Auden pace, and I really try to avoid playing the PoBiz game. Critic? Sure. But there's a lot that I do that isn't really criticism. Scholar? I root around in old books and have a semi-systematic understanding of context, but I think I sure don't have a defined "field." I've been called an "intellectual historian" by an intellectual historian, but much of what I do isn't history, not really. I think the thing to do is just to just keep on doing what we want to do and not worry about labels. I mean, what is tenure for, right?<br /><br />BobArchambeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273511539172747550noreply@blogger.com
