During a live call-in segment of the nationwide NPR program The Connection, poet and Harvard prof Jorie Graham was asked why, as a judge for prestigious poetry prizes, she regularly awarded prizes to former students and, in one instance, her husband (and fellow Harvard prof) Peter Sacks. As Alex Beam notes in his Boston Globe column today, the call came from an “outrider” for Foetry.com, poet Donald Judson, but he was cut off by Connection host Dick Gordon, and Graham never answered the question. Beam notes “the case against Graham was textbook Foetry,” and on the occasion of Foetry’s one-year anniversary, he profiles the site and its tactics favorably—at least partly because the opposition wouldn’t go on the record. “I invited four leading poets, including Graham, to discuss Foetry, and none of them got back to me,” he explains. In the end, he asks, “How can one not approve of subversive behavior, especially when it is in such short supply? So how can one not savor the take-no-prisoners website Foetry.com, devoted to exposing coziness and corruption in the understandably undermonitored world of poetry?”
