[New-Poetry] art for art sake

[Bob Grumman]

Pope?

Yes.  His Sage Advice is what made him a minor poet, despite the aesthetic pleasure one can get from it (since that aesthetic pleasure is considerably less than the aesthetic pleasure available in the work of major poets).

      My problem with it is that it's by someone trying to give us Sage Advice 
      rather than poetry, which can be so much more than Sage Advice.

      --Bob G. 

      My problem is they failed at sage advice which can be so much more than ˜art 
      for art sake" poetry.

      Ah, but what can the best Sage Advice get you to that's better than aesthetic 
      pleasure, which is the aim of art for art's sake art, Kaz?

      When sage advice is aesthetic pleasure

      Sorry, Kaz, can't see how the intrusion of any kind of advice can not funk an artwork--well, except as contrast to it.
