He concludes that only through the individual reader does a poem reach full bloom.

POLITICAL THEORY - Karl Marx

He urges appreciation not of what the poet does in writing a poem, but of what the poet does in reading it. The poet mainly counts as one more reader. So, too, Pinsky's idea of the place of poetry in democratic culture comes from an image of someone reading a poem to an audience.
