[New-Poetry] hate

[Skip Fox]

I think I hate many of the same things (and many more!) as well and nearly
as long as anyone on the list. But the deep human delight and opening in
both writing and reading (especially in this time when there are so many
fine poets), so far out-weighs whatever bothers us, I feel, they are but
peeves, Andy Rooney material, fun to list and torque, a place for agreement
and fun, but over-serious attention can make them, if not toxic, a
pollutants.  (Just a cautionary.)

tee-shirt contest."
