Gregory Orr and Elizabeth Lund

.........................................
Perhaps I should have called the above cartoon, "The Silence of the Poet Lambs."  Lund does not provide her email at the Washington Post, so I could not send it to her.  However, I did send it to establishment-poet Doug Holder of Ibbetson Press, since I finally managed to obtain an image of Lund, after hunting for a while on the net, from an interview/hagiography video she did with Holder.  Also, I sent it to Gregory Orr, the subject of Lund's hagiography.  Will either poet respond?  Or will they automatically abide by the Poet Lamb creed:  thou shalt not respond to criticism from critical plebe poets, no matter how truthful?  The key in all of my cartoons is TRUTH.  The goal of satirical targets should be to find something, anything, in the cartoons that is not TRUTH.   Then they should inform me of their finding(s) and, if indeed an error, I will correct it and apologize for it.  BUT poets, especially when criticized, tend to hate vigorous debate and freedom of speech, democracy's cornerstones...
