A demonstration - and inevitably, a celebration - of form's dense, delicate teacup, of linguistic shapes, of specific words, of memes, and of unfettered intellect. Dear lord, how I've missed them! The scary part is, I didn't even know how destitute I've been until Ozick and Auden showed me! Precisely one of the things that masters - and their publishers - do for us readers, no? Yee-ha!

I thoroughly enjoyed this article about a poet I have appreciated since first encountering him in college 46 years ago--and I'd like to thank the author for adding that word "huruspex" to my vocabulary, though I had to take the trouble to look it up in the Compact Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary (the one with the accompanying magnifying glass) as it was not to be found in Webster's Encyclopedic.
