Well my suspicion is that there are grains of truth scattered in all this:
it can be that a view of poetry as being founded on the erotic can have
right-wing implications (I hasten to add I'm not saying Alison's do) while
also a view of poetry as a socially engineered process can have a
dehumanising tendency, as do industrial processes. Any thoughts on this
anyone, away from the flame-wars?
