Here's a couple, my own and another's.
1. Years and years ago I did a review for The Georgia Review. At the end of
my biog note after all the usual stuff I added: He is currently adapting the
poetry of Wilfred Owen into the libretto for a musical comedy.
Reader, they printed it.
2. Someone else's I came across recently. Hugh Sykes Davies's in a 1943
Pelican entitled The Poets and Their Critics:
"Hugh Sykes Davies is an educationalist and has been most of his
life...Although he earns his living by knowing, talking and writing about
books, he has checked up his literary knowledge by getting to terms with
life as it lived outside the printed page. He is now doing service as a
responsible officer of the Ministry of Food."
Oh and one absolute gem about Anglo-French poet Robert Pollet, Poetical
Works, presses universitaires de nancy: "His untimely death in 1985 was one
of the many voyages he undertook to the extremities of consciousness in his
search for the ultimate miracle of words which would awaken man to the
presence of the eternal in the instant."
Cheers
David
Poet & Responsible Officer
