HOW NOT TO WRITE A POETRY BLURB

So, notwithstanding that I poke a lot of fun at poetry book blurbs, I do believe that a blurb can be well-written. And, in moi non-humble opinion, part of that well-written-ness, if you will, is its specificity as regards the poetry project under considerations.

For my amusement, I've decided to list -- and y'all know how I love to list! -- poets who sucked when they delivered certain blurbs. To wit, my latest infotainment blog:

BLURB BLAHS

And, oh, yes -- I don't identify the books being blurbed. For another layer of ... fun. Heee.
