A review by matthew_whiteman
The Hatred of Poetry by Ben Lerner

4.25

call me a lernerhead, i thought this was great! just a real good, memorable angle to take on poetry at large. shifted the way i think ab it, especially in his exploration of virtual v actual poems. i feel like you can't ask much more from a book length essay on poetry.

if you have the time, def read this rather than the extract on poetry foundation. i mean the extract is fine, but you're missing a lot of the fun. like the sidenotes (if that's what you'd call em) !
