Not the kind of review you'd want, ideally...

At first I think it’s a poem. Then I realise that it isn’t. Not exactly. Then I’m glad it’s not me he’s talking about. Then I start thinking about school and how it can knock all that’s good out of poetry. Then I think this piece should be posted on every classroom and lecture hall in the country.

I haven't ever read Harvey Shapiro poems. Are they so bad?
