I agree with Ian here Lawrence.
I don't understand the huff & puff of this at all. I don't think that Ian
Seed can in anyway be accused of sloppy writing. He is a very interesting
writer and, like us all here, has a view point.
Of course, you have views too - but surely this British & Irish Poetry List
is about embracing difference rather than the convex lens being placed on an
individual contribution that is a single-minded review - which I champion.
You've taken a criticism of Ian's review ever outwards, rather than taking
us back to the poet. Ian took us to the poet and her writing.
Best wishes, Rupert
