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?
