  • on Whitman by Papyrus, on September 4
    Walt Whitman, one of the roughs, is always up ahead of us on the path, motioning to us to follow....Walt Whitman is America. Walter Whitman, Jr., prissy and tepid little twerp, bores me silly. The fictional Walt Whitman is a hero of the human imagination. If you love Whitman, seek out D. H. Lawrence's magnificent unrhymed poems. Most recently, A. R. Ammons has come closest to Whitman's greatness.

    Keep up the good work. I am a big fan of topical steroid creams myself.

  • on The Taming Of The Shrew by dave ochs, on August 30
    It's always a mistake to title a poem with the title of a much better poem. Why am I reading this drivel when I could be re-reading The taming of the shrew. I am ashamed that this poem is so simple. The text sounds like one of those chubby hubbys on TV sit coms espousing his hapenny Punch's version of Punch & Judy. "With this ring I thee wed, and with this fist I smash your head" is the title of a really wonderful poem by what's his name...
