nyctom,

I guess you noticed that the truce was off. I forgot to tell you that it ended after two months of reading contemporary American poetry and the only good poem I could find was "Do not go gentle into that good night" by Dylan Thomas. What was worse than the bad poetry were the biographies that went with the poets and the supporting organizations that had bestowed grants and awards for it and them.

You said that I wasn't a poet. I think the Wall Street Journal disagrees. I hope this is a trend you are setting here. By the way, you may be with the majority of the poets, but you are on the wrong side of the politics and the American people.
