Another absolutely standard review of tenth-rate poetry criticism
(because ignoring just about all the interesting poetry of our time) by
a reviewer every bit as tenth-rate as the critic he's reviewing (whom he
scolds not for ignoring just about all the interesting poetry of our
time, but for failing to appreciate Ginsberg and O'Hara). Someday,
though, the NY Times may surprise us and get less than fifty years
behind the times in its coverage of the arts.
