Richards Pushes Grumman's Taxonomy to the Breaking Point
Bob Grumman makes his long-awaited exigesis of my hay(na)ku today (well, that link will work if you read it today; otherwise go to his archives and check for June 2), after first wondering
why I don't just junk my taxonomy on the grounds that it must be worthless if it has any problem with an obvious poem like Richards's piece.
But he stays with it, and Grumman as theorist is always weird and interesting. So I recommend it. I think.
