Yes I agree with you here David and don't agree with Tony or Pierre, if indeed they are actually saying what they seem to be saying. Whatever I think of McNish or Tempest or anybody I still consider it to be poetry so the poetry shelf is the obvious place for it. I suppose it could be put into a further category with some daft name (come on Waterstones, get to it) but I don't see that working.
Cheers
