By Lee Siegel

  • In "Look at Me" (June 13, 2005 issue) Lee Siegel criticizes Camille Paglia for manufacturing a crisis in poetry in order to sell books. In doing so, he manufactures a crisis of his own I was not aware of: The New Fragility.

    Paglia is certainly not the writer Siegel is. She could never have come up with something like that.
