Ah Candice, I wasn't saying that everyone was pissing on Page, but that
Mark's first post sorta maybe felt like it might?
Anyway, couldn't agree more with your whole post, & I do wonder how many
poems Hacker had a look at, what they were like, & then, what exactly would
be 'the' poem for such an occasion. I suspect a Neruda poem might be
better, actually...
I do note that someone sent the Page poem in, & that's probably how Hacker
even knows about her, though that might be unfair to Hacker.
