Reply C.B. Anderson August 18, 2020 I will at least, Joe, go along with the “little” part. Reply Alec Ream September 18, 2020 Thanks for the input and the read. Society of Classical Poets is no boring lot, that’s for certain. Alexander Ream December 26, 2022 This Berkeley Deke and his fine Mother and Father helped get me printed in hardback. He told me in ’08, “…that poem was really elaborate.” His girlfriend was so excellent and lovely, I took such as an symbolic indicator that he was “a bell cow” – one to follow, iow. Snow shoveling in Ann Arbor and reviving the 1844 literary foundations of Delta Kappa Epsilon formed the 2 best tasks I had for 8 years: housed and fed during the Great Recession. Ergo, printed in 3 countries, 2x as many states. To recall how grateful I’d better be I had a lady friend make me a sweatshirt: “The Son of God composted my B.S.” Reply Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYour email address will not be published.CommentName* Email* Website Notify me of followup comments via e-mail.
