I tend to pay some attention to 5 poets. Two in Wisconsin: Kathy Serley and Patricia Williams. Billy Collins, former poet laureate of the US and author of several books of poetry. Mary Oliver, now deceased but often mentioned by Lynn, a poet who concentrates on nature. Ogden Nash, a clown but a good one, author of the poem I have memorized:
When called by a panther
Don't anther.
I noticed recently that Collins has a new book out: Musical Tables.
I was prompted to check on the ebook form of his new book and found it was priced ok so I bought it. It is filled with very short poems and I read it all today. Collins is the author of "Forgetfulness", a poem that Lynn refers to often and easily. I experience the hallmark of old guys: not being able to think of something, usually a name, that I know I know but can't make the word, the name, come to mind.
You can read "Forgetfulness" if you search for it.
