If you came by way of a search engine and did not find exactly what you were looking for, try the
People who may think me ungrateful rather than incompetent
Smart people I ought to read more
Those who have cared to comment
Well-connected
Can’t help myself
Self-linked... creepy, or crappy?

An anecdote from the 2000 DPF:
At the last Dodge Poetry Fest, I asked Stanley Kunitz to sign my copy of Passing Through. I think he was somewhat sick that day.
I told him then, “Whenever I read your ‘Three Small Parables for my Poet Friends,’ it teaches me humility about craft. But whenever I read ‘Touch Me’ it reminds me that a perfect poem is possible.”

I was not able to ask Gerald Stern today, “‘Lovesick’ is a poem that transports me, so much so that I find it difficult to analyze. Could you go over some of the technical decisions you made while writing it?” because some bozo in the front row asked a question about justice and love that set him off.
However, I was able to sing a duet with him:
By the light of the silvery moon
I like to spoon
with my honey I’ll croon love’s tune
Honeymoon
keep a-shinin’ in June...
See? Glee club was good for more than just putting yourself on the fast track to geekdom in high school.
