We'd much rather read "The City of Dreadful Night" than the seasons
fellow, because B.V. is much more dramatic--esp. that bit about the
Sphinx. However, neither deserves the awful-sounding label
"neglectorino" which should be dropped into the deepest lexical hell,
where it belongs.
"Work hard," Howard Nemerov said to me, "and you will get the audience
you deserve." I think those words hold true--sooner or later.
