Great Regulars: So instead of a discussion

and reading of three of America's greatest bards, Hamill collected a group of "anti-war" poems, slapped together a book, Poets Against the War, and flung up a web site with the same title. And poetry suffered another defeat at the hands of these "poets," who decided it was better to promote a slog of doggerel than present a useful discussion of three of America's best poets.
