Marybeth, I've regretted some of my own reviews in the past, and learned from the experience. A harsh review of a virtual unknown can leave a very bitter taste in the mouth - what's the point? However, some poets are well enough known to be able to take it in stride, and should be able to swat off negative criticism with ease, should they receive it. And if they can't, that really is their problem.
