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).

Profiles in Crazy, XXXVII. . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!
PresiDented (Never Enough Lies) Trump is saying: "Let me tell you about the time I went up against Rocky Balboa. . . ." ******************************************************* Above CAPTION based on nothing except Trump's tendency to lie, as he did about a pay raise for the military as covered by CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/26/politics/trump-misleads-military-pay-raise-again/index.html (Actually going to Iraq is one of the few things I agree with concerning what this spud has said and done, so I should give him a "CAPTION pass" on this one, but he had to go and lie even here.) |

What the hell is wrong with you people anyway?" Merry Christmas. |

Profiles in Crazy, XXXIV. . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!

Profiles in Crazy, XXXIII. . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!
Donald ("Christ had it easy" ) Trump is saying: "Listen and listen carefully. . . . Do you know how to do that? . . . When I said I'd be proud to shut down the government and guaranteed I wouldn't blame the Democrats at all, I was being rhetorical which means saying something otherwise or opposite which should have been immediately obvious by the context! . . . Did you see Chuck laughing? He knew." |

"Hillary should be well into her first 5-year stretch by now." Come CAPTION Fox's Judge Jeanine!!!
Judge Jeanine ("Let's just outlaw the Democrat Party and be done with it!" ) Pirro is saying: "I don't know who got to Flynn's judge. He should have raked the F.B.I. over the proverbial coals for its flagrant abuses and, frankly, felonious activities. . . . So it's obvious somebody got to Judge Sullivan. . . . Otherwise, it just doesn't make any sense. . . . Unless Q-Anon is right and it's all part of Mueller and Trump's plan to expose and eliminate the Deep State. . . . You know, that guy (or gal) makes more and more sense every day." |

 ?
PresiDented Trump is saying: "Listen, Q. . . . I know it looks bad with 13 investigations and all, my family and closest associates facing multiple felonies, and a sealed indictment likely with my name on it, but it's all part of the plan. . . . Everything's running just as I and Mueller planned it, smooth as my daughter's baby tush. . . . We got The Deep State right where we want it! . . . They'll be squealing like pigs before next spring. . . . Get the word out, but on the q.t." |
