I'll have to look into his poems.<br /><br />When Lucille Clifton came to LCC, I got to introduce her and then be part of a luncheon with her. She's powerful.

All kinds of lists about books and reading end the book (compiled by English teachers on an online discussion.) One list was Ten Poets I Could Not Live Without. On the list was Wallace Stevens. I had to go enjoy some of his poems, then here is your post. In case you're interested, the others were Lucille Clifton, Jack Gilbert, Li-Young Lee, Philip Levine, Antonio Machado, Czeslaw Milosz, Pablo Neruda, Ranier Maria Rilke, William Stafford. <br />There are few others I would have added, but I like this list.Christy Woolumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748862572108653566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35367059.post-81733962373447809832010-01-04T13:10:18.009-08:002010-01-04T13:10:18.009-08:00:) Thanks for making me smile!:) Thanks for making me smile!MGMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06023305884132294675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35367059.post-71869608093345503242010-01-04T08:50:23.161-08:002010-01-04T08:50:23.161-08:00Good to know that someone else appreciated Wallace...Good to know that someone else appreciated Wallace Stevens.
