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).

Donald (City mouse caught in a pumpkin) Trump is saying: "I'm not saying it's treason if you don't clap for me. . . . After all, that would only constitute one piece of evidence." ******************************************* Above CAPTION based on a report I heard this morning about an individual behind Trump at the rally being removed from his seat. It was probably a side comment on Morning Joe or CBS, 6-7 a.m. EDT. It may have been a joke, but it was a ripe stimulus for a CAPTION. ******************************************* ON EDIT Here's a DU Link to a clip of the man being asked to leave: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211105900 |
