The Poetic "I"

[Leanne]

ok, but then I'll keep my mouth shut:

I know all of the major league poets here so absolutely disapprove of the confesssionalists

totally untrue -- I just hate Plath and Sexton. Robert Lowell isn't too bad and I've even seen Ginsberg listed in that genre (though I would dispute it), and I love Ginsberg. The thing I dislike most about the confessional poets is their fan club

So I am kinky enough to find utter delight in a new genre I participate in: fictional confessionalism.

I think Robert Browning might have beaten you to this by some centuries :p
