Sorry to bang on, but I didn't make any suggestions of laziness on the part
of 'difficult' poets. I think there is laziness in all areas of poetry.
Clarity is not something I overly value. The poet I asked to clarify her
declarations on this is too busy taking clumsy potshots at the workings of
the list to decide whether she is going to explain her viewpoint.
