i cringed a little on reading i'm a fan of the new critics. i have read quite a bit of their criticism and poetry with interest and see some value in it, but on the whole I think quite differently than they do and view them mostly historically. that said, my comments below are partially meant to explain that i don't think that the type of poetry that most interests me, post-avant, language-oriented work, is the only type of interesting poetry out there. so many wonderful poets are writing right now that it's hard even to keep up.
as an editor, i often find that i end up rejecting work that i think it quite good. sometimes it just doesn't fit the aesthetic of the journal. i enjoy reading it and hope that someone else will pick it up.
