Just wanted to add that I am furious at Salemi, would rip his little head off if he were here. It's been my privilege to be Rhina's guest in a house filled with light and love and serenity, not at all unlike the mind, the great soul that presides over it. As in Wilbur, the serenity that speaks so calmly in her poems is the triumph of life over its difficulties. To argue that she's turned to country club verse to advance her own career prospects is offensive and preposterous. It's Salemi who's the careerist, an academic who can't get no respect for his own iambic stomping.
