Name your top three critics today and what value they bring to your life
Never forget the role of the critic #thenew
In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read.
But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, & that is in the discovery & defense of the new.
The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends.
