The worst part is that they condemn all literature that doesn't fall within their tastes. Mike Billiard, in particular, has gone on record as saying that both the Beats and confessionals "hurt poetry more than they helped." If Alsop and crew were just promoting bad literature, that would be fine, the world would move on. They're also trying to stamp out GOOD literature.
