Once I finished, I pledged to follow up whenever a new appointment was made. The terms of appointment vary from one to two years to life (why does that sound like a jail sentence?). Doing the series was a great introduction to poets I might otherwise not have picked up.<br /><br />Thank you for reading and commenting.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-66110323578292817642011-07-18T10:59:22.503-04:002011-07-18T10:59:22.503-04:00Nice.

In all the years of being a state, even that one occurrence was technically an unofficial title. In 2005 they voted to make such a title...but our house actually voted it down. Makes the artist in me ache. But it is lovely to see such honors moving through other states, as Louisiana.Chris G.http://cianphelan.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-76046319380264699492011-07-18T08:29:01.665-04:002011-07-18T08:29:01.665-04:00Sometime, when I read a biography like Kane's ...Sometime, when I read a biography like Kane's I want to turn back time, become a poet studying under the greats, drinking at bars and smoking cigarettes late into the night.<br /><br />and then I realize -- but that wouldn't be my life...<br /><br />and I settle into where I am and appreciate where they are at and all they have to offer.<br /><br />thanks Maureen -- great biography of a Poet laureate!<br /><br />(I was just thinking on the weekend -- I wonder when next Maureen will showcase one!)Louise Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522775693728655487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-44417973157884064062011-07-18T07:45:36.740-04:002011-07-18T07:45:36.740-04:00After readind this, I ordered "Body and soul&...After readind this, I ordered "Body and soul" on Kindle.
