This has been one of the best discussions of a poet I’ve ever seen on the Sphere. I’m sorry not to have gotten back into it before it wound down (a crazy week at work and home intervening), but I’m grateful to Katy and everyone who shared their insights. You’ve deepened my appreciation of a poet I knew was extraordinary since coming across “Cruising Byzantium” in a little magazine over a decade ago. I’ve saved this thread to reread every time I go back to Michael’s poems. Thank you all.
