I just wish Greg had exibited the same fortitude as Bob. Instead of refereing to a well-known poet, he could have used names there and in other places. Merwin, wasn't it??? Charles Plymell

Thanks for the comment, Pam. It is not Merwin; it is not Plymell. The reason I did not exhibit "the same fortitude as Bob" in posting the names of the poets he writes about is that the guidelines for guest bloggers here at the Best American Poetry site says, "no personal attacks." As both poets are still living, I thought the context was borderline. But I'll ask BestAmPo and amend if they give the go head. Best, Greg

Greg: I knew it wasn't Charles. He was using my link to make the comment and I asked him to sign his name. I see now that it wasn't clear. BTW, Bob is still live and kicking.
I certainly miss his accurate commentary on poetry. Ron is doing a good job but doesn't go for the jugular.

left the house

of coming back
ten hours later
