by Philip Kitcher
"Our excursion delivered a world-changing win!"—
will it also uncover the limits of spin,
as the faithful besotted are forced to conclude
they've been conned for too long, and their emperor's nude?
Philip Kitcher has written too many books about philosophy, a subject which he taught at Columbia for many years. His new book The Rich and the Poor (Polity Press) is all about the costs of abandoning morality in politics and public life. His poems have appeared online in Light, Lighten Up Online, Politics/Letters, Snakeskin, and The Dirigible Balloon; and in print in the Hudson Review.
