[New-Poetry] Recent praise for the feneon collective (fwd)

[John Latta]

You could be right. That its attractions lie amidst the ruins of a certain 
dysfunctional "community."

Johnson comes to mind, certainly, but I think the Feneon crew's work is 
somewhat sharper, more point'd, less "slack" than his--or at least than 
that in the Epigramititis book.
