Discussion of Leonard Cohen poetry

I see you're tracking Colin Ward down. It's an interesting

discussion, but what interested me more was the mention that (as of
2004) he "the excellent Egoless poetry site," which I'd
never heard of. I had no idea what "Egoless" poetry meant (I
first figured it was some form of anti-confessionalism), but the
concept intrigued me:

"We identify neither the poet nor the critic. You won't know

whether the work you are critiquing is by a good friend or by someone
who once accused you of being a Rod McKuen fan. Think of it as a
masquerade ball. The purpose is not to guess who is behind the mask
but to benefit from what they have to contribute to the proceedings.

"Poems posted to the Egoless Web Site do not generate an HTML

file that can be web searched. Thus, editors cannot trace any work
that we post here and, if the critiques convince us that our 'darling
child' poem is an 'ugly duckling' we can simply abandon it without
acknowledgement or regret."

Unfortunately, the site (though still on the web) has shut down and

not reopened.

Agreed.
