[New-Poetry] Changing of the guard

[jforjames at aol.com]

Could be The New?Yorker had a backlog of accepted poems. Doesn't seem news that Merwin and Dunn appeared. But a couple weeks ago I saw on Siliman's blog that Rae Armantrout had a poem in The New Yorker...that was likely a first for her. And maybe she's one of the first from the Language movement to appear therein. But I'm not sure about that.

Here's the link, but I don't the magazine and now I wonder if this only appeared online...
