"With this powerful emblem of professional literary culture coming to an end, what are we to make of The Best American Poetry? I want to offer two ways to approach this question. One is about taste. The other is about publishing."

I wasn't much familiar with BAP's editor David Lehman, but this piece gives him a pretty thorough skewering en route to a deeper discussion of politics, aesthetics, and publishing.
