Title: No Help for Anyone Interested in Superior Contemporary Poetry
Review: As ever, venerable Establishment icon Vendler pays standard attention to varieties of poetry standard by the fifties or earlier, but seems unaware that anything else (visual, infraverbal and mathematical poetry, for instance) exists. She's competent at what she limitedly does, however, so her book would probably be worth getting for apprentice readers and writers of poetry--until commercial or academic publishers of books like hers accidently publish one by someone knowledgeable about the best poetry composed since 1950.
Is the review positive or negative?
