[New-Poetry] MacArthur Poets

[Bob Grumman]

  I tried to get every winner's name into that last post, but I realize I missed Campbell McGrath. He's the fashionable representative of the speaker-driven lyric sometimes referred to as ultra-talk.
  I lot of bases are touched with this list. (Though the langpo gang has been shut out.) Perhaps the 
  MacArthurs should be 'genus grants'. 
  Finnegan

  Dang, James, haven't you learned anything from me after all this time I've been saying the same thing over and over again here?  The vispo gang has been shut out, too.  Ditto the sound poetry people, and the performance poets.  Cyber-poetry?  Don't make me laugh.  No bases touched, really, the one representing conventional solitextual (solely textual) poetry using no poetic device not in wide use fifty years ago.  

  --Bob. saying it again.
