Talk:Mary Karr

critical acclaim
I changed the publications listed in the first sentence to those that are more well known for serious criticism (e.g., I swapped out US for The New York Times). Levi P. 06:09, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Against Decoration
Having added and refined the paragraphs on "Facing Altars", I have expanded the original paragraphs on "Against Decoration" after analysing same as printed in Viper's Rum. I have also made style refinements and spelling corrections. YankeeBob.

Comment on the penultimate paragraph in "Poetry" section of the article.
"Karr's essay is meant to provide the technical detail to Randall Jarrell's argument." This is not preceded by any info about "Randall Jarrell's argument". Is everybody supposed to know who Randall Jarrell is and what is his argument?Svato (talk) 04:01, 8 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delving into the article's history, I found that the content in question originated in this version, which does explain what Jarrell's argument was. (And then in May 2010, an anonymous IP who has made no other edits before or since hacked that part out for some unexplained reason, and it went unnoticed.) I'm just going to restore the old text. Thanks for pointing it out. Theoldsparkle (talk) 16:00, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
