[New-Poetry] Fwd: Poem-a-Day: Ruth Padel's "Like Giving to aBlindMan Eyes"

[Bob Grumman]

Reminds me that I meant to thank James for posting Padel's poem.  I 
think that she did well by Charles in it, and find it interesting that 
she is a direct descendant of his.  I further think that one's ancestry 
better indicates one's bona fides than degrees, prizes, sales and 
positions.  Finally, I think that what the media does with information 
is probably not much her fault.  What do you expect them to write and 
talk about, poetry?
