Huuklyeand Cinquor on Poets Sounding Out Their Voice


No, no, you’re doing fine 
Mates, plumb no deeper— 

You’ll find that buoyant 
Voice you’re looking for bobbing 

Right here near the surface, not 
Sinking at the end 

Of one last desperate line. 


Moderator’s comments: Cinquor twitching like a catastomid on the end of a gaffe(sic)—this guy doesn’t know Trout Fishing in America from The Compleat Angler. Why he presumes to be such an authority on the murky current state of American poetry is anybody’s guess, but there’s a strong possibility it might have something to do with his piscine-sounding name.

  1. That Cinquor...always angling for mysteries in the deep end!

  2. Speaking of dangerous... being a pseudo-authority on the current murky state of Nothing At All can prove hazardous, particularly if one swallows one's own terminology.
