TWENTY YEARS LATER...

I expect to finish proofing AMNESIA today when I dither over glossy vs. matte re the cover. While proofing, I paused over the two epigraphs in the book, which quote from among my first year's poems. 2016 is my 20th year in poetry and looking back at my first year, I obviously had certain expectations from Poetry. I am happy to be able to say, 20 years later: Thank you, Poetry -- you did not disappoint.
