The New Poetry and The Nation Prize Poem
A reader derides modern poetry as defined by The Nation and its prize poem by EH Siegel, contrasting it with classic poets from Horace to Gray. The piece critiques flamboyant verse, laments overhyped prize hype, and favors traditional verse like Gray’s Elegy over contemporary political poetry. It shifts to a political note urging business freedom amid heavy taxation.
