McHenry's done quite a lot of reviews in some pretty heavy-hitting venues; his tone seems to be that of William Logan the Younger:

But I don't think he's casting aspersions on formal poetry as such, merely by stating that it is "unpopular" (among most contemporary poets, I'd qualify, even if said qualification were only a surface treatment of a complex debate beyond the scope of his capsule review):

You'll find his work in The New Criterion, among other places.
