A couple of weeks ago, I visited a local poet with the Klassens. His name is Dmitri Koro. He has an archaelogical dig going on in his backyard at the moment, but it is all hush-hush, so don't tell anyone!
It turns out Dmitri is also a fan of Leonard Cohen!
Dmitri explains to his American guest how one can objectively evaluate poetry. He said poetry is like music. You just know when a violinist doesn't quite hit the right note. Apparently, the same principle holds for poetry.
