creeping toward its inevitable end; and so is my MFA degree at
USC-Columbia, where I had
the privilege of studying poetry with the (still I think) irrepressible
James Dickey.
With my degree in hand, I hope to teach creative writing,
somewhere, anywhere, someday.
I
think poems should speak for themselves, but since they don't always do that,
let me say that when I equate people and ants and dogs and spiders, a few
people have thought
I meant therefore that everything was equally
meaningless, when my basic premise
actually is that everything is equally
holy.
