[New-Poetry] Bernadette Mayer

[Bob Grumman]

Many of us find a new one weekly. It's a great time to be alive as a writer. I don't mind the silence, but I would like to see Bernadette Mayer hired by a good university. (Of course, there is a down side for very deserving writers who have to endure financial worries for decades. Before them I am silent.)


  Not to go way off topic, but I have  thought the same thing about Mayer-- i.e., why she isn't on the faculty of a really top notch University and  paid very, very well.   She is after all not only an extraordinarily accomplished poet, she also has that rep for being a particularly gifted teacher.  *sigh*

  I thought she had clout as a first generation language poet.  That should get her into a lot of universities.  Did she offend someone in language poetry?
