Sam,
I got a kick out of your spoof on "Beowulf." The ending made me laugh out loud. Having spent a year in grad school learning to read the poem in the original, I like how you managed to keep the gist of the content while subverting it through the form.
Congratulations to Tim on his idea of having people who know the works well write reviews of poetry books that deserve wider recognition, and post them on Amazon.com. That is really taking the word directly to potential readers, and it may do some good. And good for Terese, for following through on it.
Susan
