an interesting discussion...

...on Robert Alter's translation of the Psalms between poets Peter O'Leary and Alicia Ostriker is posted over at PoetryFoundation.org. The article's title is taken from Ostriker's first response, and is entitled, "If the Psalms aren't poetry, they're useless."

Give the article a read--any thoughts on it?
