 The Village Voice: Status Ain't Hood
Brown was probably the most important musician whose lifetime intersected with mine at all, but he was about a decade past his creative and commercial peak by the time I was born in 1979.
In another way, though, it makes perfect sense that I'd be sitting at my computer and eulogizing James Brown, since all the popular music that's been made in my lifetime has had to contend with his ghost in one way or another, either embracing it or self-consciously defying it.
A popular musician as pallid and rhythmless as James Blunt has to make the conscious decision to ignore Brown's innovations and be as pallid and rhythmless as he is, whereas before Brown it was just about everyone's default setting to be that pallid and rhythmless.

 The Richmond Review, Book Review, Divining Desire by James W. Hood
He quotes: 'Poetry is like shot-silk with many glancing colours, and every reader must find his own interpretation according to his ability and according to his sympathy with the poet.' So too with literary criticism, hence the myriad literary critical strains galloping across the ages.
Hood, however, chooses what he likes from the various cliques of thought (he does a devastating close reading), and ignores the rest.
Hood writes: 'Tennyson's poems observe artistic creation as a second means by which human beings approximate divined desire', and like the Lady of Shalott, Tennyson is himself 'an artist who accomplishes through artifice the fulfilment of his desire, albeit imaginatively and momentarily.'
