Charles Hodge
American Theologian

Edward Hirsch
American Poet
The idea of how to read a poem is based on the idea that poetry needs you as a reader. That the experience of poetry, the meaning in poetry, is a kind of circuit that takes place between a poet, a poem and a reader, and that meaning doesn't exist or inhere in poems alone.
Quote examples
Emile Durkheim
French Sociologist
