...has just published my sonnet, "A Small Mystery on Gray's Field" in their Summer Jubilee edition.
I'm prouder of that than any of my publication credits. I don't think they ever published a poem before. Regards, David |
Ah funny isn't it, David, the things that bring us our greatest joy.
I just adore the name of your town. It is so veddy veddy British. There should be a Masterpiece Theater series set there--if there isn't already. Many congratulations on the publication credit. You will now be a local celebrity, but we here can say "We sorta knew him when..." http://www.ablemuse.com/erato/ubbhtml/smile.gif Tom |
Thanks, Tom.
I've already spoken to the Vicar about having my monument erected next to Thomas Gray's, overlooking the field in question; but so far the idea's fallen on stony ground. Still, I'm sure he'll come round, eventually. Even the Brits find the name comical. I think the reason I was pleased, is because everything I write is targeted at an audience of non-Poeticals, and up till now I'd assumed such an audience was hypothetical. Regards, David |
That's great, David. I think the monument should be designed to match Gray's. Then the question becomes which of your immortal lines do we engrave upon its four faces. I nominate the killer closing couplets of your sick joke poems!

Yes indeed, Tim.
I've been thinking about my inscriptions, and I came to exactly the same conclusion. |
Wonderful news David, my heartiest congratulations!

The poem deserves that and more. Congratulations! Perhaps the monument should have sculptures of you and a dog. That would seem fitting. In fact, there's a statue of a dog, a very fine one, here in Central Park. I think it's a rescue dog, very alert, strong, and shaggy, and I'm delighted and sometimes touched every time I see the noble canine in bronze. Terese |
I don't think they ever published a poem before.>>>
I think that's marvelous. Good for you, David A, congratulations, wendy |
Dear David ~
Congratulations on the publication! Such great news! The very best to you, David ~ Elizabeth |
