...interested, is it not, in fine education? Just last week the Editorial Board treated us to a host of editorials on how the deans might better serve the cause of liberal arts education at Harvard--including one presumptuously entitled "The Closing of the Harvard Mind," after the late Allan Bloom's outstanding critique of American universities. If the Crimson is as earnest about curriculum reform as it postures in these editorials, it will take lessons, not cheap rhetorical devices, from great educators such as Bloom and Mansfield.

The 1962 collection presents a mishmash of generally incomprehensible image fragments intended to reflect the experience of everyday consciousness. "Harold Bloom sort of dismissed The Tennis Court Oath as John getting through to the real stuff that Harold Bloom can understand. I think it's fair to say that, as poets, we don't really think about critics. We assume from the start that there are certain people that will...
