Kevin, et alii, it’s clear I must bang away at the publisher right soon for clarifications. That said, the one of Michael Cantor’s blurbs, however short, that meant something because of name recognition, as opposed to a description of what Cantor had written, was a kind of ballast with gravitas that I respected. I don’t know what a non-Spherean poetry reading stranger on Amazon or beyond might make of that or the other blurbs. But this blurb writer shows restraint generally as far as I know, and doesn’t effuse. So, it was a Good Blurb. For me. Needed or not for my reading interest. If blurbs are the “name of the game”, here, an obvious plus is a smidge of credible name recognition, sanity, and cogent description to inspire the will to read, and, naturally, purchase.
