I, for one, have written great poetry while employed by a university. I've also written shit. Jon, you imply, but do not state, a Rule for Poets. I suggest that you are committing the fallacy of generalizing from too little data. And general characterizations like "academia" are suspect on their face. How many colleges & universities are there in the Anglo-American-European world? And they are all bad for poets? That's what your squib implies. jd On 4/16/07, Caleb Cluff <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > What Joe says, redoubled. > > caleb > > -----Original Message----- > From: Poetryetc: poetry and poetics [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On > Behalf Of joe green > Sent: Tuesday, 17 April 2007 12:47 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: My last word (I promise) on the Vendler issue > > > > > ============================================================================== > The information contained in this email and any attachment is confidential > and > may contain legally privileged or copyright material.
