[New-Poetry] Bad blog reviews

[Judy Prince]

Chris, what you've just written gives me a sharper idea of what you think of
the critiques.  I didn't feel that yours was a mostly contrary opinion, nor
that your opinion was ending the discussion.  My comments weren't aimed at
you, but I couldn't, as often, figure out how to enter the discussion,
reasonably and quickly, any other way.  Perhaps you or someone could suggest
a better way.  In any event, what I do know is that I'm now going to sleep.
 <g>
Best,

Judy
