Lakota Sioux Native American Indians, and arrows. My kind of poem.

Thanks for calling this to my attention, Jenny. In light of the grim news at General Talk, this lifts my spirits, along with news from the Hudson Review yesterday that they are publishing two poems on Chinese themes, one a twelve line trimeter, the other a big pentameter, 64 lines. Hudson discovered me 22 years ago, and they have published a ton of Murphy.

My next book, due soon, is Hunter's Log, volumes II and III. Cathy Chandler has written a glorious essay on it, and she concludes with Three Arrows, the poem Alex just published.

That's a very fine poem, Tim.

Thanks, Nemo and Rick. Auden referred to "those poems for which we are truly grateful," and for me this is one.

At once sweet and sharp, Tim, like a well-made arrow~~kudos!
