Jordan and Joe Duemer have already linked today to this particulary noxious Newsweek article by a guy named Wexler who claims to be a writer but can't name a single living poet. I wrote an email to Newsweek asking them to let me respond. I'm sure they won't. I would think, just on the level of simple journalism, that the magazine would want to investigate whether poetry books are selling more copies now than in Wexler's college days, when he used to read Lowell and Berryman in order to impress women he dated.
