Well, as one of the "many women "lurking" here" and as a shameless hussy, I don't take exception - except to being compared, however slant, to SH ;-)
Best

Pierre, I personally have no problem with what you said. But many women “lurking” here might take exception. Saying it is only a joke to them would make little difference to them.

David I’m joking — the poet meant homophonically is Seamus Heaney, obviously, with whom I spent a couple good nights drinking beer & talking poetry & translation, even though I am not very interested in his poetry — or in his translation. A wonderful human, he was, however.

Pierre, what do you mean by this:
“Never having met the man, I of course would never judge his character — he may be, like that other Irisher, (what’s his name, I liked to call him the shameless hussy, & whose poetry I don’t care for much either,)”
“Irisher” seem a pit perjorative. And why use the words “hussy” and “whore” in relation to him? Especially after the controversy over the “coot hoor” reference in that controversial thread?
