The April 10 Op-Ed page of The New
York Times features a defense by
Pinsky of poetry on the Internet:
‘Should poetry be on the In'emet?
Should it have a month, like cheese or
Vaccination Awareness? No. say crit
ics like the sage and distinguished
poet Richard Howard, at mg the inner,
personal nature of the art This is a
sympathetic position, but I differ.
Poetry is part of our shared, commu
nal He. as surely as is the Internet'
The new Poet Laureate takes hts
inspiration from everywhere and
everything. "If you look at this
Tropicana container, when did they start
putting paraffin on the carton and the fluttering
banner here 7 If you could understand that, you
might understand a lot of Western History *
