Review: Robert Lowell, I’ve read until I’ve been almost dead, I have many of his first editions, but he writes like all the other poets of his time, he could be exchanged for anyone of his contemporaries, yet he has a generous sense of humor.



Different, New or Good Poets (?): There are many good poets out there and a few new ones trying to come out; or perhaps different, in any case they get ones attention because they are different. Robinson Jeffers, Keats, Yeats, Dylan Thomas, Warren, W. H. Auden, Siluk, Longfellow, Frost Sandburg, C.A. Smith, the old poets. Now for a few new poets: Phillip Ellis (from the Macabre stock), Julio T. Tafur (Romanticism), Cindy White (a little Plath, and a lot of Postmodernism),


A Poem:

Float on Hope

We float on hope
And hope the tide is thin
Until we find our island.
