Matthew Campbell, which might be of some interest to American readers unaware of such developments. Bob Arch. has also written about this, more concisely and more eloquently, in a chapbook for Wild Honey Press.

To whatever extent I educate, I do so in the classroom: if I think Tony Lopez is more interesting than Philip Larkin, say, I put TL on the syllabus & not PL.<BR/><BR/><BR/>What I'm interested in is a) why most american poetry readers -- and that's both New Yorker "casual" readers & rabid elitist counter-culturalists -- think of British poetry as this sink of conservatism, and b) what shapes & courses modernist/postmodernist poetry in Britain has taken. I think I know a little about (a); I want to learn more about (b). That's all. You might want to cast an eye back over the course of this blog, & consider the various poets I've touched on, before you accuse me of whatever that string of adjectives you just put together to throw at Ron S. was.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for alerting me to the new Geoffrey Hill poems in Poetry.Mark Scrogginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431113440875342809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295909.post-1147497041316130992006-05-13T01:10:00.000-04:002006-05-13T01:10:00.000-04:00What I mean toi say is - if you DISAGREE with the...What I mean toi say is - if you DISAGREE with the TIMES - try writing a public essay, instead of grousing to the choir -Henry Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06763188178644726622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295909.post-1147496868518835592006-05-13T01:07:00.000-04:002006-05-13T01:07:00.000-04:00Tell me one thing, Mark - what is the value of tra...Tell me one thing, Mark - what is the value of training your "6 readers" to better educate the readers of the TIMES?<BR/><BR/>In my experience, the counter-culture abysm-elitist mandarin-brahmin-populist acadddemmia which you, Ron Silliman, et al. represent is far more exclusive than anything the TIMES chooses to highlight.<BR/><BR/>You have you CANON which is extremely DISCERNING - in a literary-political-philosophical way - than anything the "mainstream media" could ever have time to produce.<BR/><BR/>I don't mean to pick on you - it's a gen eric situation -Henry Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06763188178644726622noreply@blogger.com
