Duncan:

I took a look at the article link you provided. An interesting read. This passage leapt out at me:

Rejecting Poe has been a rite of passage for every American poet who has wanted to be taken seriously by his or her peers. The anti-Poe club is not just a large one—it is modern poetry.

That's a bold statement.

Richard
