I rather like his concrete poems, and have even read A Crackling of Thorns, but really--I mean, why not pick Anthony Hecht, for example, if that sort of poet is the prototype? As I said, the selection has a certain professor whose name I alluded to's prints all over it. Yet unlike said professor, Hollander appears incapable of bringing himself to acknowledge that more than one "black," let alone the hordes, is writing important and vital poetry. Is a peer or more talented and necessary. But then supremacy and mental colonization go both ways.John Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073378940347627766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11122973.post-28827181120826223122007-09-28T12:43:00.000-07:002007-09-28T12:43:00.000-07:00The only positive thing I can say about Hollander ...The only positive thing I can say about Hollander is that I have and enjoy his "Rhymes Reason" book.
