I don't like this guy. He seems like one of those egotistical people who a) like to hear themselves talk and b) like to be told that they're right. In any case, if it isn't obvious enough, I completely and totally disagree with him. The truth of the matter is that things, depending how you look at them, can be interpreted differently. It's like a kaleidoscope, however you turn it, and depending on what you're looking at, there's always a new picture. Saying that only one person is right and only one interpretation is correct is almost an insult to the poet. Why would a writer only mean to say one thing? Poets have to be incredibly creative to come up with the stuff they write about, so it doesn't make sense to only have one bland and uncreative answer.

To me, almost everything can be interpreted differently. I feel like this guy is trying to squelch every ounce of creativity people have. Why does there only have to be one right answer? Why can't everyone be right? What if no one is right? What if, crazy thought here- when Blake wrote about a rose and a worm, he was writing about a rose and worm. There are so many different possibilities to everything, so I don't see how one person is more right than everyone else. Poetry is about being creative, throwing out new ideas, and (often) not making any sense at all. I think that people can have as many opinions as possible, there is no one right answer.
