Rose said much of what I would think, if I were so thoughtful. Even when they make me gag or recoil, I don't find it difficult to forgive a good poet for bad prose or interviews, or even posing, largely because I'll forget all that -- it's the good poems I'll remember; the gold, not the dross. Has Goldsmith written good poems? If not, why is he being interviewed by Poetry?
