Thanks, Farah,
It just shows you the gaps in my reading. I really didn't know this.
Objective or subjective...it rather seems to depend what you are writing about. Good poetry can be either. I think you will find that most women's poetry is subjective and men's is objective...though in these days of metrosexuality the distinctions may be blurred. Curiously, one only hears this term applied to men: can women be metrosexual, or is this still a male bastion?
And no, Ronnie, I didn't damn the term, I simply asked what it was, not having come across it before. I hadn't read the Sacred Wood essays, you see. Not really required reading for a painter. But now I will...thank you for prodding me. Or should I say goading?

Hello,
My internet had not been working so i was a bit out of touch...About
this "objective co-relative"...I have read Eliot's Sacred Wood
essays, and in them he has debated whether good poetry stems from
being objective or subjective...his opinion is that objectivity is
preferable since it gives a more universal elemant to poetry...but
that is not a strict criterion.Plath wrote intensely personal
poetry, and it is very good. I think Ronnie meant that subjective or
personal poetry is more vague, so consequently, more difficult to
grasp...whereas objective poems like Eliots "Love song of
J.Prufrock" (one of my favorites) etc have wider
interpretations...Am I right Ronnie?...please let me know if i got
this wrong.
Personally I prefer more objective poems.

it is a sister-in-law. Perhaps u may read Eliot's Sacred Wood essays
to understand it before u start damning the term . Perhaps u can
stick to ur own ideas even as others stick to theirs. Beyond a point
i dont think any of us care - Jane, mon cher
