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.

Gertrude Stein famously called Ezra Pound 'the village  explainer'...Bob, I 
think you've earned the moniker:
'the village complainer'.
