Jerome McGann's review of The Kinds of Poetry I Want: Essays and Comedies, in Critical Inquiry, 51:4, Summer 2025. "β€œThis person is all by himself a loose canon.”

The problem with #TACO is that in many ways, with irreparable consequences, it's wishful thinking. #BLT, as in Big Lie Trump, remains the reality and perhaps that is why it can't be a successful meme. It's prettier to think TACO than BLT. It is a symptom of denial.
