Robin, you have the question, spot on
, could I say. Whichever way, a gay voice is obliterated. And wasn't
this the gay liberationist's critique of Language poetry. Which is why I
perhaps find Charles Bernstein's ballad for his son, The Ballad of the
Girlie Man
—For Felix
The truth is hidden in a veil of tears
The scabs of the mourners grow thick with fear
A democracy once proposed
Is slimmed and grimed again
By men with brute design
Who prefer hate to rime
such a sad ballad.
