Only by doing this can he gain
the freedom so necessary to the
poet. He must even let people think
him crazy, if necessary, to be free.
For, he claims, to a poet, a poet is
a paradox
half divine and half
crazy.
"A poet must stitch the abstract
and the concrete together. Poetry
must be localized to be true It
never reaches its destination until
it has affected the reader. It must
come from life and go back into It."
Later, during the question session. Mr. Cox was asked about
modern schools of poets.
"You asked me what I think and
I think harsh thoughts," he answered, "It's always easy to get a
crowd excited about brotherhood,
what do most
but just think
brothers do?
He expressed disgust at Ihc modern trend of poets who complain

that they cannot understand things
about them, and say nothing constructive. "I'm tired of poets who

recommended that the board of
trustees hire other teachers because
schedules were fixed before John

the faculty was great.
He testified that "if the Frankfort law school Is considered a.
