There's a comment by a guy named "Kirby Olson" over at Ron's blog that made my stomach sick, especially this part:

"Stein (whose money made her poetry possible) falls off the stage along with Zukofsky. And yet, as Jews, they can both reclaim their status as members of the victim canon, thanks to Adolf & Co."

Neither Stein nor Zukofsky are read because they are "victims" of anything, nor did either of them present themselves in their works as "victims" of anything. Do we only read poetry written by Jews "thanks to Adolf"? I think not. That's a racist way of thinking: the only possible reason he can think of for reading works by people who aren't Lutheran heterosexual men is pity???!!!!
