[Nigel Mace]

I'm afraid this is nonsense. If poetry means anything, or indeed human art, it requires to be the expression of senient human beings capable of understanding and recognition, at least in some part, by other human beings. This prating about meaningful absences and silent yelling is a pathetic, at best, abnegation of the potential of human experience and, at worst, a fraud on human consciousness. The number of people who buy this is, thank goodness, negligible. The number of 'intellectuals' and artistic critics who do so, is tragically large. Time and survival will tell as it has always done. Meanhwile, let it be plainly stated "The Emperor has no clothes."
