Poems as "invitation to subjectivity"
 

"an invitation to subjectity" is "central to all good lyric poetry, which impels the reader not to enter the author's subjectivity but, rather, to discover (or invent) his or her own" (217)
 
not sure I totally agree with this framing, though it is interesting
 
Hejinian attributes this to both Eric Marxen and Eric Falci--is one an error?
