Membership in this outstanding group does tend to make me drunk with enthusiasm, but I try to restrain myself: sometimes it's hard, as right now, with so many members with new books coming out, and new prizes! I've been looking through Deborah Warren's ms, and have been crowing and bragging even when there's no one in the room with me. And what Len did not mention is that he is now working on a translation of Ovid's "Ars Amatoria" that is outstanding even by Powow standards. My one source of frustration is the knowledge that several in the group--Robert Crawford comes to mind, and Michele Leavitt, and David Berman--who have stunning mss that have not found publishers yet. The next few years could be exciting for poetry lovers!
