Ideally, the poet should be well-enough known to a literate audience to be pleasing when solved. Most glaringly in this puzzle,find a poem that will fit without being a gimme. Of course, most feat crosswords have two basic problems:ġ) the "feat" is often conditioned or circumscribed arbitrarily so as to make it possible at all.

It's a feat to get in the poem's title, the author's full name, and the entire poem. This is the sort of crossword I call a "Feat" crossword. I appreciate the desire to bring some poetry into the grid. I've literally never been to an ANGELO'S pizzeria, despite their alleged "common"-ness. This thing is hyper-black-squared, and yet I'm still left to deal with a mess of ANAT GST AAA MSN etc etc etc. ANGERERERERERERER? SALIENCES? IRONERS? EIDERS? ELLIOTTOTTOTTS? So many ugh-some plurals-and soooo many cheater squares, you'd think filling the grid well would've been possible.
I probably would've forgiven all the artsy poetry in-joke baloney because, hey, one word per line, that's a neat novelty, and how can you turn away from the pure serendipitous coincidence that not only do WCW and the poem's title have the same number of letters in them, but that number is also the exact width of a standard Sunday puzzle! Fine, leeway granted.
But, BUT: here's the thing (another thing, the last thing). Infinitely superior, IMHO, but I am a troglodyte when it comes to chic poetic tastes, so who knows? Anyway, the nonsense second version is a SECOND VERSION so say "second version," else wrong (or at least inaccurate / misleading).
