About Me
I am retired, now a professor emeritus at University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where I taught in the English department for 37 years. I've written 4 chapbooks and 5 full-sized books (all listed as poetry though many include other genres as well), including _Sheer Indefinite: Selected Poems, 1991-2012 (Univ. of New Orleans Press, 2012). I've also written a 500+ page bibliography of three contemporary poets: Robert Creeley, Ed Dorn, and Robert Duncan. I am writing now, both fiction and poetry, more now than ever. My first vote for President of the United States was for Dick Gregory in 1968 (Bowling Green, Ohio). Favorite quote: "It's easy to be an idealist if you don't have to mind the evidence, but no one said it was supposed to be easy" (Richard LaPauvre).

What's so bad about slavery, anyway? . . . Please come CAPTION Rush Limbaugh!!!
Rush ("Up is the new down, cold is the new hot, light is the new dark, got it?" Limbaugh is saying: "I want to know why American caucasians are supposed to feel guilty about slavery. . . . Listen, primarily in the 18th and 19th centuries, some British and American entrepreneurs rescued a bunch of ignorant and savage people from a misbegotten continent, gave them free travel to the greatest country in the world, and guaranteed them full employment. . . . So what if their travel was restricted for a couple years? They were still here and not getting eaten by lions or by their fellow man, so called. . . And now they have it made with food stamps, assistance, cheap wine, and plenty 0f fried chicken franchises. . . . It's time we were proud of our country's history of slavery!!"
