I thought the NYT reviewer suffered hubris of the worst kind for his unkind remarks: New York Times book reviewer Michiko Kakutani called Carter a "mediocre poet" who writes "well-meaning, dutifully wrought poems that plod from Point A to Point B without ever making a leap into emotional hyperspace, poems that lack not only a distinctive authorial voice, but also anything resembling a psychological or historical subtext." loc.gov

Hi from mj I don't have time to discuss now----I am interested as I have never read his poems. Thinking about Carter I would not be surprised if he plodded from point A to B. NOt a criticism-----but an observation. Also, I would expect a gentle side to his poetry----perhaps I will be surprised on this. Later this evening. mj
