[New-Poetry] Blurbage & Play

[David Graham]

No doubt there is a connection here:  it's final exam week at Ripon  
College, and I have been reading Dean Young.

Anyway, I just wanted to add another entry to the Memorable Blurb  
list that I've been compiling haphazardly for years.  A real gem on  
the back cover of *Skid*, by Mary Ruefle.  I quote it in its entirety:

"Several serious mistakes have resulted from Dean Young's absence  
during the events described in the first chapter of Genesis."

In his acknowledgements, Young also provides a highly unusual note:   
"'A Poem by Dean Young' was written by Mary Ruefle.  Its companion,  
'A Poem by Mary Ruefle' written by Dean Young, may be found among her  
work."
