I would like to ask listers if we apply different standards with regards to
reading of mainstream/popular poets of the past/present and
avant-garde/experimental poetry. I'd like to see if that is the case -- how
about a poem from the H's and one or two poems from the Lang-Po or others? I
would like to see how we react to the poems and the nature of our criticism.
Do we often mollycoddle and overprotect experimental and avant-garde poetry?
