It's a good thing Harold Bloom is already dead because hearing this poem would have killed him。 Gorman's work was an utterly dreadful， cliché-ridden piece of juvenilia that had all the charm and sense of craft as a mediocre slam poem。 It's a good thing Harold Bloom is already dead because hearing this poem would have killed him。 Gorman's work was an utterly dreadful， cliché-ridden piece of juvenilia that had all the charm and sense of craft as a mediocre slam poem。 。。。more
