[Reader-list] piracy and authorship in poetry

[Vivek Narayanan]

Hi all,

wonder what all of you might think about this, an interesting scandale 
just broken in a (mostly American) little poetry world.  Don't forget 
that this is not your father's poetry world, this a dense knotted 
network where everyone has a google alert on their name...

First, read this blog entry:
http://poetryfoundation.org/harriet/2008/10/3785_page_pirated_poetry_antho.html#more

Read the comments field, too, or as much of them as you can manage, then 
read the anthology, or as much of it as you can manage.

THEN (spoiler alert) read:
