I received the follow-up email from Nick Drumbolis with further links to his biblio research stories on Canadian writers. Nick has posted them on the Internet Archive for all to read. I spent hours reading the first link below "Wayward Letters" until my eyes hurt.
Thanks much Chris (on both counts). Not sure if i ever sent earlier studies like Jonesie's but in case i didn't i'm appending the links below (pardon me if i did). What the academic self-proclaimed arbiters of poetry fail to appreciate is that it's a portal into the life of another human being. An art (or an affliction) that certainly has nothing to do with "greatness". In other words, 'the poet' is hardly a category restricted to those who write great poetry (just like artists aren't all in the pantheon). Recently i pulled down an old vol wch has poems by various kings & queens of England & reading one by Henry 8, wch put his pot on a totally different map for me. Currently 1600pp into a similar illustrated study of Can poe back to 1850, Contact in Context, in wch are countless marvels of the art long gone from common memry. I've always detested surveys of art or community (not to mention parties) that leave people out. Glad you're still blogging & chugging along (happily on a better infernal machine). Hang in, n
