❧ Many visitors stumbling onto my blog have little interest in Poetry. For those visitors, I’ve created a new page: Block Prints. The page collects my wife’s block prints and wood cuts. Some are even available for purchase. Take a look. Enjoy.

Patrick, this is a terrific read in all the senses the word has, including a flicker of the crime scene spin off that we ardently await: TLLCSS, True Life Literary Crime Scene Squad. I’ll print this out and pass it on to Wilbur. You should consider publishing your critical essays as a book (though it won’t reach the audience your site does), one which both the clueless and the clued in about what poetry can accomplish will be grateful.
Hey Robert, it’s nice to hear from you again. I’m not sure which post you’re responding to, but I doubt it’s this one. :-) In any case, I’m glad you enjoyed it, whichever one it was. My analyses of poems have been getting better, I think, as I settle on a methodology (as much annotation as analysis). I’ve thought about how these posts might appear in book form. They would have to be drastically altered. The online format allows for a certain kind of presentation that would be hard to match on the page.
