[New-Poetry] Does Poetry Have A Social Function?

[Bob Grumman]

Does politics have an aesthetic function?

I was the one who shot at Wiman, although Roger Daly apparently did, too.  I found it risible that so retrograde a mediocrity as Wiman could be called an expert in poetry.  I like the idea of panel discussions on knotty questions but don't see what good they are if only stasguards are invited to participate in them.
