As I have observed in the past, no one does this sort of thing better than the Nineties poets. Of course, they are regarded as quaint and old-fashioned caricatures by moderns, who can only evaluate the past in terms of their own debilitating and distancing irony. They cannot conceive of the possibility that the poets of the Nineties wrote poetry as if their lives depended on it.
