This review is from: The Conservative Poets A Contemporary Anthology (Hardcover)

This book is an outstanding representation of poetry written by contemporary conservatives. In fact, it's not clear at all what Thomas Newton means when he says that "it has been heavily redacted by the American liberal university hegemony." The simple truth of the matter is that the book is solely the creation of Dr. Baer, and that no "redacting" pressure has been brought to bear by anyone. There very well may be a "liberal university hegemony," but it had no part in the selection of these fine poets and their work.

This review is from: The Conservative Poets A Contemporary Anthology (Hardcover)

An attempt at an anthology of conservative poets is always to be applauded, and this book has turned out as well as can be expected, considering it has been heavily redacted by the American liberal university hegemony. There are three poems of genius ("The Ballad Rode into Town" by William Baer, "Snowflake" by William Baer, and "The Mei Lin Effect" by Frederick Turner) that are well worth the price of the book.
