Books in Canada - Review (286 words) |
 | BECAUSE I admire the courage and intelligence of Erin Moure's work, I was especially disappointed by her approach to David Manicom's letter of clarification (Books in Canada, April 1989, in reference to Moure's review of Poets 88 in the January?February issue). |
| Through her own sloppiness (and no reviewer, especially when pressed for time, is immune to it) Moure misrepresented Manicom, and Manicom, understandably upset at being labelled sexist because of a simple misquotation, wrote a clear and reasonable letter to set the record straight. |
| In her response she refuses to acknowledge her error, and glibly implies Manicom is guilty of critical naivete for thinking he could possibly know what he meant to say in the first place. |
