AN EXHALATION OF AMERICA
By now, several of my friends in poetry land have taken note of the blog-worthy occurrence of Charles Bernstein in Robert Pinsky's weekly "POET'S CHOICE" column in the WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD. Now, this truly is a memorable event, but there's one element that seems to have gone unremarked.
Pinsky writes of Charles Bernstein, "he means everything he says."
How do you suppose he knows that?

It isn't demeaning to say that Bernstein doesn't mean everything he says, or writes.
I agree with Oscar Wilde when he says "the object of Art is not simple truth but complex beauty."
See my own review of Girly Man this Sunday 2/18 in the Philadelphia Inqiurer.
