An Irish poet, Maureen Gallagher, has written an article in the Galway Advertiser attacking the local poetry slam scene, and quoting me prominently in it.
Here's the link to the article:

Today, the paper kindly published my reply, titled "How I stopped worrying and learned to love the slam".
Those of you in Galway, do the right thing and support the Advertiser by buying a copy.
Who says poetry doesn't sell papers?

Comments
I understand about being represented out of context, but wonder if you could point out the internet article that comments were appropriated from - I'd like to read what was originally written.
I'll be following with interest!
