Paying Attention to Bill Knott Again

Bill Knott had an interesting post recently about "poet laureates" of the blogosphere.

I wonder how he fits in friend Janaka Stucky's recent winning bid for Boston's Best Poet.

Maybe he doesn't like to think about it.

Keep in mind Janaka Stucky is one of those exceptions to the rule in that he's a juggernaut both as a poet as as a self-promoter.

If Bill Knott was utterly wrong, then far more popularly chosen poets would be in the Stucky-league.

Janaka's high quality aside, I was thinking more that Bill Knott would find the whole thing a futile pursuit.
