Frank Osen (“FOsen”) has an amusing poem in the current number of <u>The Wallace Stevens Journal</u> (Special Edition: Stevens and France). It offers a humorous take on one of Stevens’s more baffling poems, “Mrs Alfred Uruguay”. Frank’s poem is called “So Noble That...” and bears the subtitle “Exposing a tawdry joke at the bottom of ‘Mrs. Alfred Uruguay’”. I suspect that shall not be able to read Stevens in the same light again.

Bravo!

Epigram
C. S. Lewis

Have you not seen that in our days
Of any whose story, song or art
Delights us, our sincerest praise
Means, when all's said, "You break my heart"?

Warm and well-deserved congratulations, Frank.

Congratulations, Frank! I've got to find a way to see that poem.
