Poetry Wins!

For this year, at least.

With fiction's rejection by Pulitzer this year, I will hold poetry as the superior genre. Fiction, you have to lump it--but only for a year. What separates those who write fiction from those who write poetry? Please enjoy the opening of this wonderful piece (click on the image):.


I love this essay--it gets ever funnier. The full piece can be read by subscribing to Harper's Magazine, a move I highly recommend. Or you can order the fall 1996 issue of Michigan Quarterly Review.
