Ken - perhaps I -was- a bit hasty on the uptake - but am always keen to be
pointed in the direction of something new, something which will refute or
alter what I've felt so far. This seems to have happened - thanks to cris
and Miles for suggestions of non-ballocky texts. It's not that I've read
-none-. But certainly not -much-. But then, life's just so long, what
snubs your interest the first few times rarely pulls it later. I'm by no
means in favour of petty, sub-terroristic, one line assassinations (having
heard a few myself and been, as you are Ken, frustrated), and would never
attempt to make such a blank dismissal if my comments weren't in
list-context, where I felt (perhaps mistakenly...yep, probably mistakenly)
that it might incite response without really offending. Next time, I'll
have maybe even an argument or two up my virtual sleeve, something to
brandish. But - still feel, personally, that L crits (those I've
seen) have done little to locate anything except their own variously
contingent and -in an awkward sense- 'accompanying' poetries. I shall
read more, get back if I turn out to have anything useful to say. k
