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).

"Leave the thinking to me!" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!
Donald (The Fart of the Spiel) Trump is saying: "I hate to contradict my critics, Sean, I really do, but pulling out of the Iran deal will make other countries more likely to trust us in future negotiations and treaties, not less. . . . They'll think I'm trying to use double-reverse psychology, trying not to get them to sign, take my bluffs as dares and think that white is black inside-out and to try to prove something to me and make me pay at the same time, they'll sign whatever I say. . . . It's like hey won't be able to help themselves. . . . (looks to the crowd) How can you stand all this winning? . . Huh?" |

Playing Russian Roulette with a loaded revolver. . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!
Donald ("Don't worry I know what I'm dew-wings" )Trump is saying: "All you have to know about the so-called Iran deal is one thing: its real name. The swamp and fake news call it the 'Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action,' or JCPOA for short. But do you know what other thing JCPOA might stand for? How about the 'Japanese-Croatian People's Office of Anarchy'? . . . Think about it." |

Donald ("Being able to destroy the earth twenty times over isn't even one-tenth enough." ) Trump is saying: "I still don't see why we can't shoot off even one nuclear bomb . . . .

It means Intelligence Quotient and Intelligence means Smart and Quotient means like Dividing or something. Therefore IQ means Smart Division, which is like long division but smarter. . . . Rex won’t know what hit him.” |

"That's mighty right of you!" . . . Please come CAPTION Steve Bannon!!!
Steve ("Saving money on razor blades for over a decade" ) Bannon is saying: "Are you kidding? . . . I'm not denying a word of it. . . . You bet we at Brietbart sought out America's Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, and KKK members for input into our stories.
