you& #39;re telling me there are two widely published white poets named matthew and michael dickman who have been in the new yorker 9 and 11 times respectively and are twin brothers
is american poetry a telenovela

matthew has a poem that starts off lusting after ankles and does a lustful tour of a woman& #39;s body including "armpits like beehives" and ends with "darling, your my President"
so

come on man

"I have my tackle and tackle box."

oh to be twin white brother poets for whom "there is no money in poetry" is laughably incorrect
dwelling on it as a window into how intractable things remain
they probably make more launching a book at princeton than most poets make in years
