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).

Mick Mulvaney is saying: "No. I didn't ask for a judge to decide whether or not to testify before the House based on the fact that John Bolton looks eager to testify. . . . I'm not afraid of what he might have to say, but I just want to make sure the Committee hears that it was entirely his idea to pressure Ukraine and he only pretended to be opposed to it." |

"'Whistle-blower'? Give me a break! More like a deep-state spy!" Come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!
PresiDented (Stapled-Penis) Trump is saying: "No dilemma. Absolutely none. Zilch. . . . In the first place, the man wasn't a whistle-blower. He was a plant, or a spy. . . . A Democrat operative. . . . And in the second place, and even more important, the framers of whistle-blower law, would want us to prosecute spies pretending to be whistle-blowers, to maintain the integrity of the law and, of course, future whistle-blowers. . . Real ones. . . . If I released his name, I'd not be breaking the law but upholding it. . . . That should be clear even to the fake news." |
