I remember when Bly and Wright appeared on the same stage at Sweetbriar
College in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Bly in serape introduced Wright in white shirt black tie as the greatest
living poet.

Wright recalled the poem wherein he announces while musing on a lawn
littered with whatnot that he because of poetry has wasted his life.
