Maybe There Are Three Or Four Really Good Poets In A Generation.

I Got Married, Other People Went Off. We Had Sort Of Another Public-we Were Our Entire Readership For Many Years, And We Were Very Excited By Each Other.

As For Political Poetry, As It's Usually Defined, It Seems There's Very Little Good Political Poetry.

Certainly, It Seems True Enough That There's A Good Deal Of Irony In The World... I Mean, If You Live In A World Full Of Politicians And Advertising, There's Obviously A Lot Of Deception.
