Ye Gods, More Dead Poets

It's a plague!

W.D. Snodgrass now. At least he was 83. "Heart's Needle" is still an amazing poem (and the title poem of a fine book). And The Fuehrer Bunker: ballsy to write dramatic monologues (rare at that time) in the voices of those down in the bunker. Both of these books helped broaden my vision of poetry.

And also Danish poet Inger Christensen, whose work I didn't really know but I will. Now. Too late.

As cummings would say, "dying is fine)but Death" ... "(forgive us,o life!the sin of Death."
