Bless you a thousand times for asking, Wade. I published three portions of the book in various places, and will have a letter from Turkey in next summer's Hudson Review, but despaired of finishing the book when I took on the world's biggest anthologies for McGraw-Hill, which I'm doing with Dana Gioia and Meg Schoerke. Now they're damned near done and my teaching load's a tad lighter for two years and I'm going great guns on the Greek book. I'm well over a hundred pages into it. Trying not to think about publication quite yet, though I'm interested in seeing if I can find a commercial publisher for it and crank my career up a notch. Who knows? Anyway, I feel that it's ripe for the writing now and it's going well. Good to hear from you. I'm basically signing off this site for a while, though I'll check in when Mr. Wilbur's lariat answers appear. I've enjoyed this.
Dave
PS--Just noticed in Tim's note that Paul Lake and Dick Davis will precede Dick Wilbur, so I'll also check in to see what those two say as well.
