[New-Poetry] Changing of the guard

[millb at aol.com]

This week, our niece emailed to say that she really liked the Merwin poems in the New Yorker (since she knows I am a subscriber).? So, to your point, even our niece, the librarian noticed a change enough to mention it to me.? It's not often that I get emails from family members commenting about the poems in the New Yorker.? In fact, I think this was a first.

Cheers

Mill

Anyone have any thoughts on Paul Muldoon at the New Yorker? He's going for the tried and true -- a couple of poems by Merwin in the last issue I read, looks like Merwin and Stephen Dunn in the current issue. For myself, I have no problem with this. It's better poetry than we're used to seeing in the New Yorker, and these guys have earned their place at the top of the food chain. The New Yorker is a general audience magazine, after all.?
