  • Dead Poets Society


    On Friday, December 5, 2003, I picked up a copy of An Introduction to Poetry, by X. J. Kennedy and Dana Gioia, 8th ed., at a used book sale for 50 cents.


    The previous entry concerns a poem by Buson I found in that book, and contains a link on Kennedy’s name to a work suitable for this holiday season.


    As additional thanks for the poem, here are links to a two-part interview with Gioia:


    Paradigms Lost: Part One, and


    Paradigms Lost: Part Two.


    “A poem need not shout to be heard.”
    – Dana Gioia

  • Being the vain person that I am, I typed my surname into Xanga’s new search window, and lo and behold a post about my big bro’ popped up.
