eaf,
I thought you read what I said about Auden slightly off. I said I could smell the alcohol when I read him, and all that goes with alcoholism, inconsistency, sloppiness, lack of self-honesty, etc. (In the poems. In person he may half been a very nice person, I don't know.)
diprinzio,
I think Justice and Auden will fade and that Stallings will stay. However, you are right; she could very well inform me of my great ignorance.
robert mezey,
of any here, you are venerable, and I listen to you carefully. But in the same manner the way we failed to communicate about pleasure and passion regarding poetry, we will probably not communicate about, 'if you don't like Justice, you don't like poetry.' robert, I don't like poetry. I either love something or hate something. I don't leave the house and consider what I will 'like' today.
Justice writes with thoughts, not poetry.
I know I need a couple days to write up another poet.
TJ
