I'm a poet and a translator of poetry, particularly poems of Martial, Catullus, Sir Thomas More, Baudelaire, and Rilke.

My new book, Daylight Losing Time, has been published
by Able Muse Press.

@amjuster @washingtonpost It's appalling. Book World was my favorite section. I can't bear to see this great newspaper being destroyed.

@MaryannCorbett @StevenEKnepper Excellent review, interesting in itself and enlightening about its subject.

[@susankmclean @susankmclean]

@MaryannCorbett Maryann, keep doing the humane thing, no matter what response it evokes. Tim Murphy was a complex person, with positive and negative sides to his personality and his writing. You tried to present him as he was, in all of his aspects, letting readers draw their own conclusions.

@MelissaBalmain @Nicole_C_Garcia What a great selection! Nicole's on Vance and Pence is a corker, and Gail's on cat ladies had me laughing out loud.

@amjuster This is terrible news. VPR was a rarity in being so open to form as well as free verse.

A rhyme of formalist poets

@amjuster @MaryannCorbett Beautiful order in disorder.

[@susankmclean @susankmclean]

@MelissaBalmain @MaryannCorbett @RattlePoetry I think I'd call it a stretch villanelle, just as I'd call a villanelle that was short a stanza a curtal villanelle.

[@susankmclean @susankmclean]

@MelissaBalmain @MaryannCorbett @RattlePoetry Great villanelle! It takes me back.

[@susankmclean @susankmclean]

@DavidRosenthal_ You made it a good one.

@MelissaBalmain @PaulDryBooks @UR_LiteraryArts @UofR @UR_EnglishDept Great review, Melissa.

@MaryannCorbett Informative and level-headed. Thanks.

[@susankmclean @susankmclean]

@MaryannCorbett I tend to agree with Boris. Spenser is often considered a poet's poet because of his encyclopedic knowledge of poetic history and use of poetic devices.

[@susankmclean @susankmclean]

This review inspired me to order the book. Thanks.
