Great Regulars: This was a sockdolager--

sex, intrigue, poison e-mails, thwarted ambition, crashes, burnings, screams of pain. Poetry just may have joined politics, sport, and entertainment in finding itself prey to multimedia manipulation, assault, and abuse. Does nothing, no one, stand apart, not even the most rarefied of versifiers?

We take you now to Oxford University, home of the Oxford professorship of poetry.

from John Timpane: Philadelpia Inquirer: Poets--yes, poets--
