...good poet, North asserts; it's just that critics miss the mark when analyzing his work. "They're not interested in any of the early stuff we all love," North explains, "like The Tennis Court Oath."

How can he claim to be "deep, deep in the woods" when he's near enough to see a pickup-truck driver on the road? Perhaps Lopez has never been in woods deeper than Central Park. The real issue, however thinly veiled, is his distaste...
