I agree wholeheartedly with the last writer ("A Reader" from "A Place"). What must it be like to be a real poet watching this celebrity-penned koob climb the charts? Kids, pay attention: you're allowed to like this stuff if you want, "applaude" it if you must, but IT'S NOT POETRY. As a public service I will now name a few genuine poets whom you might check out: Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman, William Butler Yeats, Gary Snyder, John Ashbery, Paul Muldoon, Seamus Heaney, Louise Gluck, Michael Ondaatje,C.K. Williams. Would somebody please explain to me why Jewel gets approx. 200 reviews on the amazon.com web page, and most of these people are virtually ignored?
