I don't know if 'suburban' applies to the New Yorker poet 'typique'. But, if
you want to read some hilarious about New Yorker poems, Jack Kimball (a poet
and faux press publisher) has a wonderful entry on his blog sight
http://pantaloons.blogspot.com/
where he literally inter-marries a Seamus H poem with a Louise Gluck poem -
the author is given the name "Seamus Gluck."
The exercise is a study in how each poem parallels each other's structure,
nature of outcome, etc. Definitely a model for an interesting workshop
exercise, possibly, as well.
