Really, too easy a target for Logan!

[Michael Cantor]

What Mike said. I haven't read it in years, and don't know anybody who takes BAP seriously. It's a little bit like laughing at Donald Trump.

[W.F. Lantry]

"It would be easier to read the entrails of sheep." Oh, my!

"Lehman says almost nothing of interest about American poetry, and little beyond platitudes that would embarrass a self-help guru." Ouch!

"Lehman’s prose is so clunky, thrown together from hackneyed allusions and used car parts, that I have to take a handful of aspirin after reading..." Dang.

"Lehman’s clichés are those of hacks everywhere..." Somebody call the burn unit, please!

Normally, I don't go in for this kind of thing, but the whole piece was rather refreshing...

[R. S. Gwynn]

Dang, just as my poem's about to appear in BAP!

[John Whitworth]

I have never heard of Bap (a soft-topped bread roll?) but if your poem's in it, Sam, then it is obviously a splendid thing.

[Ann Drysdale]

I didn't know BAP either, but I clicked Sam's link and all was revealed.

[Michael Juster]

It's like throwing hamsters into a cage to fight a python.
