[New-Poetry] longfellow of philosophy part two

[Rachel Loden]

Jim and anyone else interested,

The second part of my post is up now, with a possible answer to your
question, and I think (or at least hope) that it comes out in some
unexpected places:

"But it also makes one wonder, somewhat tantalizingly: which stylistic tics
(or other self-important bits of business) might be blinding poets to their
irrelevance or just-plain awfulness today? And which of their contemporaries
- poets, editors, critics - might be embracing them for exactly that shtick,
and those gimmicks?"
