Just reviewed galleys for my largest unitary poem. It's 96 lines, six abba cddc octaves of pentameter, it's called Hard North, and it's about a voyage Alan and I took to Auyuituk Parc Nationale in 1989. I actually walked to le cercle arctique and did a little dance. My thanks to Chronicles, to Dr. Tom Fleming, and to Catharine Savage Brosman for publishing this big poem. My compositor, Aaron Wolf, got it all on one page as I had hoped. It reads a lot better than I remembered! Tim
