Wimin's  panel looks a lot like the Iraq Study Group to me. A group of 
eminences whose  conclusions are known before they begin. With neither side of the 
debate,  ultimately paying any attention to them. Political Kabuki at Poetry 
Magazine.  



To quibble, Joe, I wouldn't call any of that crew an 'eminence'. In the big  
circulation poetry
mags of which there are only two, the APR rag is looking more  tired these 
days. Poetry
more full of spit and vinegar than I can ever remember it. Either it was  
Wiman's doing or the
Lilly heiress' cash...but something's changed in Chicago other than the  
address of 
their offices.
