LOS ANGELES TIMES - Column One - "PEN OF A POET IN THE FIST OF A FIGHTER" AUGUST KLEINZAHLER

Yesterday's LA Times - front cover- for Monday July 28th, 2008, featured an article of the title above about AUGUST KLEINZAHLER, who shuns academic poets and literary snobs and has been known to get into fist fights in bars when insulted. Literary journals are publishing his work... ABOVE IS THE LINK TO READING THIS LA TIMES ARTICLE byline JOHN GLIONNA on line... I achieved it by Googling LA TIMES and the headline which I already knew because I bought the paper paper (yes I still do once in a while, when I know I will have the time to read it!) The Times is having a hell of a time continuing to publish because of electronic media like this one. I found the front paging of news about a POET especially interesting. What is the strategy in placing news about a poetry renegade on the front page?
