Congrats! That's quite a credit. I wasn't aware you worked for less than $20K per poem, but this cheaper gig certainly comes with a ton of prestige. Apropos the poem, it's good but does not accord with my own, more limited observations of watching people die. The people I have watched were a good deal more than disappointed and tired, but acted more like Dylan Thomas wanted his father to act. Angry as hell... and frightened. But then, I frequently disagree with what I read in the National Review. Well done!
