[New-Poetry] Re: poet finds God

[Anny Ballardini]

If you were in Italy, Bob, they would say of you:

E' tagliato con l'accetta.
He's cut down with an axe

I mean, no platonic variations, :-)

    I'd posted the piece before reading it...now that I have I find the caption I gave it a bit flip. I had no idea Wiman's had an incurable disease. It's a moving essay, straightforward and sincere.

    I'm afraid I found it at the level of what's in Poetry and the American Scholar, at best--although I certainly hope Wiman lives another fifty years with no significant ill effects from his disease.
