"I am happy to announce that the next LOST WORLDS will contain an in-depth examination of CAS' poetry by none other than Fred Chappell, Poet-Laureate of North Carolina and gen-U-wine lit'rare-E Big Shot. Should be a good one."
Well, as long as I can raise a pen I shall be trying to write anent CAS. I'm about half way through a piece on the beloved in his verse, and I'm making plans continually to write more.
What I was wondering, though, was why not encourage more people to write about the verse, and assembling a list of places amenable to lit crit anent him? I'm sure we've enough talent here, discounting my minor efforts (although, looking at the word-count of my last effort I'm sure Scott mayn't agree to wholeheartedly...*grin*).
A file of amenable markets for criticism would be helpful, and make an interesting page for here.
Also, as a side note, if any of you would like to contribute readings of anything by CAS, and join the ones I'm sending in to Boyd, feel free; also feel free to discuss them here if you want, and let me know how helpful my feeble efforts are. Such feedback would be enormously appreciated.
