Caleb, How glad I am to see your posting! It is I who have belabored you on Dick Davis. As you can see, the Poemtree is a bare, ruined choir without him. See if you can find A Kind of Love (Arkansas) or Devices and Desires (the Brit version) in New York. If not, I'll lend you a copy. Many of us think that Dick is the best formal poet of our generation. Although he teaches Persian at Ohio State and has resided in the US for nearly twenty years, few American have heard of him.
