In a message dated 8/12/2013 5:22:39 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time,
jejunejesuit.geary2@xxxxxxxxx quotes from someone whom he rhetorically
describes as
someone with whom "he'll have to agree to disagree":
"As a result of the scandals, most contests and awards adopted
"Jorie Graham rules," preventing judges from selecting kinfolk or
students as winners. She is the most conspicuous of the unprincipled
poetry judges, but there were many others, notably Mark Strand"
-----
One problem with
"the end of beauty"
is that
if 'beauty' is in the eye of the beholder then the implicature is that
Jorie Graham is/was blind?
------ RITA: And what are YOU reading?
------ Open University Student: "Howards End"
----- RITA: Pretty vulgar title, no?
Cheers,
Speranza
