Good One

I'm not usually an avid reader of poetry reviews, but a good joke is a good joke:

The most obvious problem with "Good Poems for Hard Times" is that it proposes that "the meaning of poetry is to give courage." That is not the meaning of poetry; that is the meaning of Scotch.

Nice. Read the rest of the review if you want to learn how Garrison Keillor incited literary controversy.
