The Academy of American Poets censors poets who dare "go upright and vital and speak the rude truth in all ways" (Emerson). It censored me and has yet to respond to my complaints regarding that censorship. For the full transcript of that censorship, see http://www.theamericandissident.org/AcademyAmericanPoets.htm. Come on poets and poetlings, manifest a little curiosity... and alot of INDIGNITY!
By the way, this will be my last entry on this blog because those who are running/managing it are as immature as it gets. In fact, they'd make great Academy of American Poet forum moderators. Haw!
Sincerely,
