“When I look back at those years during which poetry formed such an important part of my identity, I am tempted to rub my eyes, as though recalling a time when I ran off and joined the circus.”
– Phillip Lopate, At the End of the Day: Selected Poems
and an Introductory Essay (Marsh Hawk Press, 2010)

Thanks so much for the links. The interview is interesting. In the sample poems, I love the flow of words in “The Second Marriage.” And “Rumours” is fantastic!
