{ Yes, that's about it, Dominic, I think when considering those exploding hit
{ numbers, "one and ten pairs of human eyeballs", and the rest are bots, and
{ thanks too for the url to the Bernstein article. I agree with many of his points
{ but was glad for his pointedly funny take on National Poetry Month, for there's
{ so much in this, that's ridiculous: the idea that there's some "mass audience"
{ avoided by 'the arrogance' of the poet and an 'amplified bard' would re-
{ establish that ancient and mythic connection.

{ Best,
