It rings a bell. Was she the one who put up that silly "debauchee of dew" poem a few years ago, with all the biological misinformation, and after posting only thirteen crits? And didn't take our advice on the rewrites? Good riddance!

I especially liked, "Is there another poem behind this one that needs to be written?"

I don't see a TDE ref?

Something must have been disappeared before I got there. Or I am unusually dense this morning. Maybe I should stop and get going on the coffee.

Janice, I was trying to crack a yoke: my pre-coffee humor, sorry. The page just shows E.D. "workshopped"; I added the TDE part.

As I recall it, Janice, you were the one who told her that it wasn't a Deep End poem. This was immediately after somebody else said it was "brilliant", and I think another member - darned if I can remember who - said that he read it to Richard Wilbur, and Richard Wilbur said, "Who is calling, please?" Don't you remember the incident?

And then she went on her blog and wrote a scathing expose' of Eratosphere's impolite, cliquey, dismissive "senior members."

Oh, her!

I've had me coffee now and am more receptive.

Janice,

It's near the bottom. Everyone kept telling her to "lose the last stanza!"

Thanks,

Bill

I think it's pretty damn funny, regardless of who she is.
