Poetic License

When I pick up a new poetry book
I always glance first at the biographical note
If the poet has children I don't read the book

  1. yes, that's an accurate quote, can't deny it . . . but it's from an old book i have since revoked and which i have never (given the opportunity) reprinted——

    like most such rhetorical instances of hyperbole, it's untrue and unbelievable——

    please don't judge me based on three lousy lines i wrote four decades ago!

    in any case, if someone wanted to read something else of mine,

    i have posted all my books of poetry online

    in pdf files which can be downloaded for free:
