Do tell me, those of you who will know such a thing. Is it pronounced
Poolitzer, Pewlitzer, or Pullitzer? I've heard all three.

reminding me, as did the story Barry alerted us to, that there are just
too many poets, of far too many types, to ever keep up with: I know
none of these. I didn't know more than about 3 of the names mentioned
in the Reetika Vazirani story, including her. I would agree with anyone
who said that that's my fault & failure, but it does go to show -- if
nothing else, that most of us can't possibly keep up, & will make our
choices about what we know, like, admire, etc, on the basis of what
people we know, admire, etc, tell us, & on, in my case at least, what
writers I have come to admire admire.... (or trough the ruminations of
a list like this...).

lipsynching awe all the way to the grave of the unknown onus:
memory stutter; one smidgen, one scantling of thank.
