as always JF gets the zeitgeitz she's a grande poet

This made me want to find out who the cowboy poet subject of this poem was. I think I figured it out. To be honest, I liked his poem as well as this one. Poetry contains many undercurrents.

Hilarious! True and profound. TO A NEW ERA is one hell of a book!

Like many another reader of a certain age, I feel
Sure I know which old man poet is being justly lampooned. Or which of two. Or maybe three. No, at least 4. I love the poem and feel immense empathy!

Nice one. I've been trying to think of what (or who) our British equivalent of this old cowboy-hatted poet is . . . I'm sure we have one. In fact I'm sure we have several.

bam!

I think Joanna Fuhrman is one of our best contemporary poets.

Loved it!!!! Go Joanna!!!!

Nails it with the last several lines. Ah the ever-drifting audience with our cell phones and stealthy inattention.

Pretty funny. Thanks, Joanna.
