Kenneth Goldsmith’s repartee - which, I’m sure all will agree, is sparkling - reminds me of his response to Kay Ryan’s appointment as Poet Laureate… how did it go? Ah, yes: “Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.”

I kinda like the new boss. His poems mean things. I know that’s passe these days, but huzzahs anyway.
