Translation Politics & Poetry
When I read this:
"That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, were ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the--it's got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health-care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we've got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that."

So Walt Whitman, Shakespeare (aka sonnet face), they've got to go, shoring up poetry and putting it back on the right track not just double-dactyls and villenelles. We're ill about the position we've been placed in and I'm not sure our poetic license is valid. And space, there's worry there's not enough room in the poetry world. Dickinson. Plath. We've got to view them as opportunity and not a competitive, scary thing. So the poetry reviews are really formalists in pajamas. Randall Jarrell. I say Free Billy Collins, like every American poet speaking in iambic pentameter, it's got to all be about free verse, reining in submissions, sestinas, we've seen enough of those with their repetitive words, but ultimately, one in five poets are daydreaming, we've got to look at that reform.
