ummm... am I missing something?
I get the impression that a couple of people are saying that poets have to
wear criticism (or reviewers have a right to review and criticise) AND also
saying that the reviewers ought NOT to be reviewed (i.e. no one has the
right to review poetry reviewers) (Or is it just that RRR hasn't earnt this
right? or what?).
So, it's OK for Alison to do a review, but not OK for someone (RRR) to
comment on her review in a public forum.
Take this stance to its logical end and you make reviewers into sacred
oracles.
Seems to me that if criticism is good for poets, then it must also be good
for reviewers.
