I know Tony. Of course I know and understand these things. My question
was rhetorical and tongue-in-cheek. I just get annoyed by such
laziness, such complacency, as shown in that review. It reflects on
the poems and the poets. It mirrors back the laziness and complacency
of the poetry. But of course your right, it's only a sampling. Any
Shearsman poets in there?
