      @HeerJeet Someone could do a good one. Yeah good thing Frost couldn't read that one. Even if the substitute was an imperialist fantasy.

      @DougHenwood Also many of the great American poets of last century have been right-wing crackpots: Pound, Eliot, cummins, Moore, Stevens

      @DougHenwood I love many of Pound's poems but he's best left out of any political discussion.

      @DougHenwood It's not widely appreciated but in Washington Asylum Pound tried to hook up with US extreme right: Klan type people.

      @DougHenwood Oh yeah. On lighter note, Mencken visited Pound in asylum, so they could both bitch about FDR.
