[New-Poetry] Re: Excellence

[David Graham]

That's a softball.  "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," for one.   
Sylvia Plath's "Daddy" for another.  Then there's "The Red  
Wheelbarrow" . . . .  Quite a lot of the Norton Anthology, in fact.

I save actual hatred for people, usually (often former Presidents),  
but I can say that I don't much love the above poems, and never have.
