[New-Poetry] Rod McKuen

[Skip Fox]

Actually not a badly written "review" of his reading. The end is the best.
(getting away in the car from the claustrophobic "poetry" scene into the
clean night of highways &c.)  Oh, and this:

"(He is a man who is unafraid to stretch his hands into the air in a gesture
of helplessness.)"

Which might indicate a glimmer of self-awareness has penetrated his fog, but
probably is simply the sign of more sentimentalism and undigested
romanticism (romanticism-lite).
