Would that all "deliberative dialogue" was as illuminating and productive. Good to see you yesterday. <br /><br />And, nice poem. What a fine month of poetry it was.culturejockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263465772349376129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128825.post-62381368631754597142009-05-01T08:41:00.000-07:002009-05-01T08:41:00.000-07:00As Bob notes, the poet Vachel Lindsay does not usu...As Bob notes, the poet Vachel Lindsay does not usually have his first name "Nicholas" attached.

I don't think I knew that Vachel Lindsay had another named attached in front. I'm thinking Booth must have beat it out of my memory boldly with his big bass drum.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13765688465211717384noreply@blogger.com
