HEEHS as a Poetry Critic
by

So the ideas on which Future Poetry is based are indeed Timeless ? Good to know that.
I apologize if I offended any "Devotees of Peter Heehs" by calling him a school drop-out. I was just trying to give a realistic picture of the man and his academic accomplishments. I am extending him the same service that he extended to Sri Aurobindo.
Devotees of Sri Aurobindo & Devotees of Peter Heehs share the same characteristics:
1) They tend to think their idol is infallible. (He never smokes, drinks or has sex)
2) They tend to exaggerate his achievements ("founder of the Archives!")
3) They get offended if their idol is criticized - for example if he is called "a coward and a liar".
Here is a good example of how one devotee of Peter Heehs subverts the truth in order to present whatever image of Peter Heehs seems convenient at the moment.

Nor is Heehs the founder of the Archives, he only worked in this Ashram department from its inception
But the same devotee in his Amazon review tries to glorify him by calling him a co-founder. We all know Jayantilal Parekh was the founder of the Archives.

As co-founder of the Sri Aurobindo Archives, historian Peter Heehs has been eminently equipped for this task, having had full access to a vast resource of original letters, diaries, and other primary sources.
