We've been discussing Anthony Hecht on the Mastery Board. I wrote him last night and told him of this discussion, and he has graciously assented to field our questions on the Lariat Board this weekend. He doesn't use a computer, but he has a fax for swift response. This is an outstanding opportunity to query one of best poets of the 20th century, so go ahead and post questions (after you get his books from any library or bookstore). Early next week I shall type in his responses. I'll also post a brief review of his devastatingly good new book, The Darkness and the Light, on Richard's Discerning Eye board. And I'll post more poems on Mastery.
Another announcement: Greg Williamson, the best young poet writing in English (with the possible exception of our own beloved Alicia), will be our guest in late December. Now is a good time to read his new book, Errors in the Script.
