Mike:
Re David's post, I support this statement of yours.
Or are you saying that the poem addresses and captures a reality of human
nature and therefore you support its publishment and recognition as a work of
art?
One of my favorite painters is Goya. One of my favorite paintings is Guernica.
As art and as truth telling, which I totally support. I am against
suppressing anything except stuff like violent video games for kids. And the
concept that money is speech.
My comment to David referred to the difficulty (impossibility) of either one of
us trying to play Rachmaninoff on the piano.

I'm not sure I understand your response, Veronica. Are you saying that the
poem glorifies such killings and for that reason you support suppressing it?

Ursula,
Thanks for sharing. This reminds me of all the people that kill for small
reasons or no reason at all. I think about the nightly killings in American
cities and the the guy in Norway and all the Muslim and other "martyrs."

This is an older issue, but I hadn't come across Duffy's response poem
before.
One of my students drew my attention to it.
