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).

"They're all cheering for me back home." . . . Please come CAPTION Matt Gaetz!!!
Matt ("I didn't want her to go hungry" ) Gaetz is saying: "And the fake media is making me out to be a monster, which is the opposite of he case. . . . I'm an upstanding member of my community: In my Kiwanis club I'm directing our Youth Outreach Program, I sponsor several foreign-exchange students through The Girls Scouts of America, and I am currently running for the Chairperson of Cheerleader Camp, 2022. . . . That ought to shut my critic up!" |

"She was actually paying me!" . . . Please come CAPTION Matt Gaetz!!!!
Matt Gaetz: "She told me she had saved up her baby-sitting money to have the honor of dining with a United States Congressman, so she paid for everything. . . . And if the prosecutor doesn't buy that, I'd like him or her to know that I have got copies of e-mails and messages from several so-called 'bigger fish.' . . . Everything's going to be fine." |

"What's so bad about an existential threat?" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!
Donald ("I don't even have to take my asshole pills anymore. . . . It's natural" ) Trump just finished saying: "Are you kidding? . . . Ignoring climate change is a win win win! . . . We'd get to save trillions of dollars by not having to invest in so-called 'green energy,' we'd get to own the libs, and if we're wrong, there will be no history to judge us. Beat that!!!" |

"I remember waiting up all night for the Easter Bunny." Please come CAPTION ex-PresiDented Trump!
ex-PresiDented Trump is saying: "Easter is a holiday celebrated by everyone. A child was born in an Easter basket about 20,000 years ago, and we've been hiding eggs ever since as a sign of forgiveness and fancy hats. But one thing we shouldn't forgive is Democrats stealing the election of the greatest nation the world is ever likely to know. So Easter is also time for pay-back and calling on friends to make things right. . . . That's why the whole world celebrates it every Easter, as they say." |

"Jan 6? That was just a little 'tough love.'" Please come CAPTION the former Liar-in-Chief!!!
ex-PresiDented Trump is saying: "I'm telling you that my supporters on the 6th were good people, Laura, GREAT PEOPLE, in fact, and incredible patriots who LOVE the police. Actually, they were hugging them and kissing them in the Capitol Rotunda. It was extraordinary, a regular love fest! . . . In fact, the reason they won't show video of what really happened in the Capitol is that much of it is probably X-rated. . . . But fake news won't tell you that." |

"It's simply outrageous!" . . . Please come CAPTION F&F's Brian Kilmeade!!!
Brian Kilmeade is saying: "Biden's speech last night was not simply unAmerican, it was anti-American. Most egregiously, he refused to give Donald Trump any credit for single-handedly creating two vaccines in record time. Instead, he constantly attacked Trump. . . . Can you imagine and American President who would denigrate and seek to undo all of his predecessor's policies? It's simply outrageous!" |

"Believe me, if I was lying, I'd tell you." . . . Please come CAPTION ex-PresiDented Trump!!!
ex-PresiDented Trump is saying: "Georgia's bogus possible racketeering charges, possible charges on bank and tax fraud, money laundering, and felonious misappropriation of campaign funds are all fake news. Give me a break! Like I would lie to stay in foocie and then enrich myself illegally. . . . But I'm not worried. I'm coming out swinging. I'm asking all my followers to donate everything they can to my new Make America Great Again Trump Defense Fund even if they have to take reverse mortgages or cash in life insurance policies, or raid their children's education funds. . . . We'll prove in court that I'm no crook!" |
