We evaluate poems constantly: as workshop leaders, competition judges
and journal editors. But how do we judge the success of verse in
these contexts? The authors propose an innovative method by which
anyone involved in the assessment of poetry can be more transparent
about how they value verse. This book foregrounds the ethical and
professional obligations of poets, teachers and critics to conduct
axiological inquiry so they can discover and publish what they
value. We Need to Talk suggests why and how people who care about
poetry should communally explore and document their shared (and
conflicting) values. This is the first book to provide the background
and theory, as well as a practical, working model, for the communal,
empirical evaluation of creative writing.
