This entry about a poet (!) suffers from the same shortcomings which are typical for most of wikipedia's entries about men and women of lettres. The attempt to define Michizos poetry in the opening paragraph is not even acceptable to someone who is not trained in literary studies. I would like to see a category of criticism introduced on wikipedia discussion pages which addresses this kind of failure. It is quite absurd that in an entry which only exists because of someone's merits as a poet this person's literary production is presented in terms which are not appropriate at all. As I said before, to me this seems to be a bigger issue, something which is wrong with most of the literary biographies on wikipedia. (Owen Ogletree (talk) 17:13, 19 November 2009 (UTC))[reply]
