1.-THE Unemployed Magician" In
this latter chapter, the god of
poetry, examining Shapiro as
both poet and teacher, asks, in
effect, if he is honest with his
students.
ITO tell you the truth, Sir"
Shapiro answers, II am reluct-
ant to tell what I really think.
1t would not fit in with the cur
riculum
"A normal state of affairs"
answers the god.
Common, certainly, but is it
"normal?"
How m any young teachers
have been forced into artificial
ity and affection - yea, even
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS those atti-
tudes "fit into the curriculum"
Shapiro-unlike E-P-Y, who
show, at most, benign contempt
for their readers-has great
affection for his Audience. In
the preface he states:
These essays are addressed
to the general public, to
young poets and to teachers.

Like unto Henry Miller, with
the exception of a Puritan con-
science that held him back. is
d. H. Lawrence, another writer
whom Shapiro admires very
much, and another writer whom
he feels is not receiving his
just due. Although Shapiro does
not devote an entire chapter as
such to him, Lawrence pops up
several times in the book,
treated sometimes with humor,
always with respect.
OF course, Shapiro could not
write a book on poetry without
talking about himself, and that
is as it should be. The most in
teresting sections of many books
are the photographed parts.
We have an account of his very
amusing encounter with a psy-
cholOgist who wanted to find
out what went On in a poets

whom Shapiro seems to like the
best, one is not contemporary,
and one is not a poet. The nom
contemporary is Walt Whitman,
for whom Shapiro exhibits great
admiration and - almost un-
heard of today - great under
standing. Dylan Thomas he &C
cepts as the greatest lyricist of
our time, and then, unlike so
many other critics who have
echoed that platitudinous state
ment, proceeds to demonstrate
why Thomas is the greatest. The
third man, whom Shapiro labels
1.-THE Greatest Living Author"
is Henry Miller. The only reason
that Miller is not a poet is that
he does not write poems; in
all other respects he is more
poetic than the lot of the in
tellectuals h a d e d by E-P-Y.
Miller is the expansive Ameri-

army of critics will Of course
negate me; the intellectuals
will drop their poses Of seren-
ity and hurry to defend their
editorial castles. But poets,
teachers, and public will, 1
hope, find comfort in these
pages and once more take
courage in the act of spOn-
taneous judgment. One of the
aims of this book is to restore
the respect of the ordinary
reader for his own judgment

cowed and inundated by the
self-appointed guardians Of
