Article about Kramer and The New Criterion. I haven't read it but thought it might be of interest here.

If you peer closely at the blurry graphic of the cover of the April issue there is a familiar name.

Whoa! Good find. Thanks, John.

P.S. Ah, it's the Wompoo Fruit Dove.

John, I don't think Hilton got lost. Maybe you did.

Tim, I posted a link to an article you can read or not read, agree with or disagree with. As I said when I posted it I hadn't read the article but thought others may want to. No one is lost here. Confused maybe, but not lost.

I thought the article judicious and thought-provoking, perhaps if anything rather easy on Kramer. The author's disagreements are respectful, and given Kramer's controversialism, rather mild. Of course, I still get a chuckle out of an article in CounterPunch that called Roger Kimball a "Sith Lord" (it's a Star Wars and thus pop culture thing, Tim), which, regardless of whether or not one agrees with the characterization, is nevertheless a vivid slagging of the guy.

Quincy, my only complaint about TNC is that Yezzi publishes too few of my poems. Of course that is my complaint about every magazine in which I publish.
