I think that's why people hate critics.  I don't know, Stephen.  I may be a real beginner at writing, but I'm no beginner at recognizing truth, and beauty, and soul.   At the worst, I could envision criticism about tightening the piece up, but I can't for the life of me understand calling it shit.   I think this piece is provocative and powerful, and, for me, has something to do with what real poetry is.  Not just the perfection of word magic, but a reflection of the essence of humanity.
