can overdo the negative. Here's some high praise for Eratosphere in the Swarthmore Phoenix from Ian Hoffman:
"Is the fact that [Hoffman] emailed the poem via Internet, instead of writing it out with his hands, more important a gesture to analyze, in historical terms, than the fact that Hoffman credits Internet forums such as Eratosphere and the broad community of published and amateur poets he found there as being inherently crucial to the development of his craft?"

On a separate note, we recently kicked around the journalism vs. poetry theme across the fence on Jake Sheff's 'Ode on Christmas' Keats'
here.
