Read "The Mystique of the Difficult Poem" by Steve Kowit

"The essay by Steve Kowit [in PI3] is terrific.  He takes no prisoners, and he writes with force and great clarity.  And is not afraid to call fools, fools...It's a strong essay and I've heard people in the East talk about the magazine, which is amazing when you consider how many publications there are these days."     Phil Levine
