Default The Anti-Cantor

Hey Folks,

Just saw Michael Cantor's excellent sonnet in Anti-, "Two Love Stories."

Great placement, Michael!

Also, everyone should be sure to check Michael's Anti- Thesis, in which he develops his "inherent crankiness."

Thanks,

Bill

Great hit, M.C., and a top-notch poem, as well. I think it is my favorite of yours.

Good one, Michael - I think I'll borrow your line about your semi-accomplishments.

Good poem, Michael! (Um, Bill, did the "inherent crankiness" need any developing? )

You don't give Michael enough credit. There's nothing inherent about his crankiness at all. It was achieved through hard work and determination.

Congratulations, Michael.

Hey, it's his term, not mine. But I think you're right: he does work hard on it!

Maybe we should call him "the hardest working man in Po-Biz..."

Thanks,

Bill

I remember that sonnet. It's a good one, packing a lot of story into a little space.

Excellent poem, Michael. I love it, even though there are no verbs!
