Collected Poets
Edwin Arlington Robinson: A poet's life points to many other poets.
Robert Mezey's bio included in California poetry: from the Gold Rush to the present. His poems in The geography of home: California's poetry of place, The State of the Language, Collected Poems
Collected Poems of Archibald MacLeish. His Tower of Ivory. A good bio of him.
Lilla Cabot Perry and her poems

I go by ..
If someone gets your name wrong, should you correct them?
What if you like the new name?
What if you are addressed in public with the new name you like.
Theres going to be a deluge of funny poetry now. While that is in the works, let me point you to The book of Humorous verse. I stumbled upon it, while on a search for Miniver Cheevy by Edwin Arlington Robinson. Samuel Amadon's back cover has a reference to EAR.
W S Gilbert is the first poet in The Book of Humorous verse.

In a sea of things
Reading todays quota of poetry, Without discussion by Samuel Amadon, I wished there was a bio of the author. Contrast this to the days in high school when we had to memorise the bio of Hindi poets. We didnt mind the poems as our teacher made the poems stand out with their interpretation and rhyme helped too. But the bios, the details that took the biggest hit was their life time. With so many students remembering the wrong years, the poet might as well be satisfied with the long eternal life he/she wishes.
I see the cover jacket of Like a Sea and recognise it instantly. When I go through the poems, they dont ring a bell. This reminds me of shopworn cliche, that I came across in a children book review. Suddenly newspapers are bringing up new words like a slate. Charnel for the Japan's state.
Going back to the unrecognised poems, I read a few of them.Things stand out in his poems. With an idea and its opposite, he binds a whole realm into his poems.
I will keep rereading the poems and know them more.

Mild storm
A three lane of everyday
We skirt the middle lane
now a lawned curb
Even a passing tumbleweed
claims ground without
pushing roots
Scarecrow is a man that
crows like to rapport with

What would I like to teach?
Virtues to teach children according to Natalia Ginzburg. Do you think about these same things or any other aspects?
Occupation
Yestderday while talking about doctors, I recalled a word called compounder. Now I cannot recall or simply dont know how a nurse is different from a compounder. By word, a Compounder would have to mix some medicines.
From a binding word like this we move onto its another meaning of a keep-out. Compound wall.
Like Robert Frost wonders in
Mending wall,
Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out
But compund itself, while adding some things into the mix, its leaving out all the other things. Cliques
While at it, I was thinking of another occupation word, Peon.
They might have been done away with in the digital world.
From A widows story by Joyce Carol Oates, I expected something like the reflection in Mark Doty's Heavens coast.
Have you come across a book where you like all the writing and stop reading it cause you have made up your mind that you are going to have the book with you as long as the material world will allow and thus stall the reading. Is this what happens in relations too?
In some way, reading is not just about the moment of what has been published but about all the moments that happen to and make the writer. Mark Doty's blog lets me do just that. And soon I will get to the book too.

Ink filler
In the recent years
filler is a cell
you put on the chip
filler is a thing
to maintain
the continuities of time or space
I forget the soft plastic
capillary that puts the blood
into the pen
Pipette
Burette
