Permanent as Stone

5/22/2019

 
Picture
When I published Some Permanent Things Second Edition, Revised and Expanded, back in December, I mostly hoped people would forget the first edition and simply embrace the new, much better, one.  But of course, the radical revisions found in that book are a testament to how much I've learned over the last four years, and in that respect -- as a testimony to humility and craft -- I'm pleased to see that the poet Daniel Rattelle, part of our true guild of younger serious poets in the trade, has written a review essay that takes the measure of my work's growth between first and second editions.  Click the ceiling to read, "An Old Flag in the Collective Attic."
