Bernstein 42: "Vendler says / she hopes readers will be provoked by some of the / anthologized poems to say--'"Heavens, I recognize / the place, I know it!" It is the effect every poet / hopes for.' I would hope / readers might be provoked to say of some poems, 'Hell, I don't recognize the place or the time or / the 'I' in this sentnece. I don't know it."
