Give it a rest. Everything has its worth including "mindless denigration". (I assume that's what you meant by "denigeration") Sift the grain from the chaff... that's what its all about. Needless to say the conceptions of both are entirely subjective.

SI Rag--Lee Cooper the Early Years (The Poet) Here at SI Rag were fortunate enough to be able to contact Lee's elementary school teacher, Joan Waters. She was kind enough to send us the following information about Lee's early school years: exchange2000.com Now we are fortunate to have further information on the legendary investor Lee Cooper (The Hick). Thank you for the kind reply to my last letter. In fact I do have some of Lee's school work available. Most of such work is buried in my files somewhere but I do have some poetry Lee did that was very noteworthy. You will notice that it is in free verse. My students did far better with this form. As Lee wrote me: " I likes this free stuff lots better, there jest ain't that many words sos it is hard to rime them." The limited vocabulary of my students was a real factor in having them go to blank verse. So too was so many of my students used what seemed to be their favorite word in their poems and invariably rhymed it with truck. I came to dread poems with the phrase 'my date' and the word truck in them. The reason I have these poems of Lee's readily at hand was he won a literary award for them. I have to confess a certain shock about this still. I am sending you the poems and the judges analysis of them. I actually did not want to send these in but the school board had heard about the nationwide contest and said our school had to be represented. I therefore chose a few of my students works and corrected some of the grammar and spelling and with great trepidation send them. Lee's turned out to be winners. The Porn Movie It were a mistake to bring Emily here. There is naked people here and they do everything. Emily is liking it too much I think. She is cheering and clapping and I am redfaced, That thing just seems to go on and on. Sure enough after the movie she says I come up short in her eyes. Analysis by judge John Bayworth: This is a remarkable work. The poet dispite using a rustic approach to the subject shows a remarkable depth and feel for a subject that is at the fabric of our society: censorship. The poet takes a more traditional approach feeling uncomfortable with the topic and his companion's approval of of the display of nudity and sexuality on the screen. In the end the polarity of their views tears apart their relationship. She feels he should be be more broad minded and as she sees it a bigger person and tells him he fails to measure up to her standards. My girl friend has left me. I never expected this and I got no one else. This sure come at a bad time. Every day I go out back and whip my mule. Analysis by judge John Bayworth This is another powerful work in the same 'rustic' style as before. The deep expression of loss and the frustrations and displacement of his feelings on his mule are eloquently expressed. When I first read this work I wondered how sophisticated an reader would have to be to fully understand it. I send it to a number of my collegues throughout the nation. I was pleasantly surprised to find that all of my collegues assured me that the subtle nuances of meaning were readily grasped by the most rural and unsophisticated readers. I hope this helps your research. Sincerly Joan Waters
