[New-Poetry] Against National Poetry Month

[Bob Grumman]

  Well, this is meaty:

  The sad thing about the quotation, and the essay, is that so many of us have been saying the same thing for years and gotten nowhere.  Oh, well, nice to know someone like Bernstein who might actually be read by a few members of the general public is still blitzing the Academy of American Poets (though, ironically, he'll almost certainly be a member of it one of these days).

  Bernstein suggests having an anti-poetry month.  I'd prefer an Innovative Literature Month.  I know nothing could be more unAmerican and sure not to happen, still . . .
