Ben Lerner is right. The approach he describes aligns with my literary journey from the Beat Generation to the Romantic Poets. My subsequent discovery of Harold Bloom taught my to trace the poetry I treasure back to Paradise Lost, Milton’s mountain of vision, which revealed the Miltonic-Romantic tradition.

This resonates with me and as a reader for 60+ years, it is and has been my map to poetry, literature, and music.

At skrive er en gave Today, the key to good writing is the keyboard. A Frenchman uses "un clavier" for his notes. With the ''Tastatur'' the Germans comes in tasty form. And a Swede tries to scratch the circle with his "tangent". As you can see, it can be so different. But a simple pen will do if you want to make a penny. Very long ago the fathers of writing took a goose feather. That gave a good reader goosebumps.
