Michael Snider said,
"Several people here have remarked on the formal timidity of some of the
poets associated with the New Formalism, and I have to agree, in part--
though I confess I don't see much adventurous spirit anywhere else, either."
Um, excuse moi, Mikael, but in case you did not notice, I submitted for the
consideration of this list seven poems touching on Poetryetc cloak and
dagger politics, using Fernando Pessoa and company as stand in's. These
poems are going to be published in no less an authority on the subtleties of
New Formalist meter than The New Criterion (even though they missed out on
my best poem-- the one demonstrating ionics and with the footnotes, soon to
be published by LeRoi Jones's Kulchur).
