Way to keep it on message, Jeff. It's not necessarily about the institutions or their programs, at least not the way I feel about it. I suggest that a parallel argument can be made for the marginalization of international poetry within the American poetry conscience. While there are a few outposts which promote translation and international literature, they limit themselves within their own preferences and sensibilities.

Keep up the good work, Jeff.

Thanks, Eric. You make a good point by saying, “they limit themselves within their own preferences and sensibilities”.
