   Bad review of Bob Dylan

   "Great poets write great poems. They don’t compose two or three great lines,   
   then spackle the gaps between them with verbal polyfilla. Philip Larkin would   
   leave half-finished poems in a drawer for decades until he found the right   
   lines to complete them.   
    Let’s reserve the word “poet” for writers who respect language enough   
   to do things like that."
