Poems About FlowersLady’s Favor

Kin

One gracious moon
After the night the...

The State of the ArtThe State of the Art (I)
by Michael R. Burch

and rhythm, renascence?
Are sonnets out of season
and poems but poor pretense?
Are poets lacking fire,

What happened to desire?

Professor Glory's Active HopeThe title of this talk today,
"Win-Win Politics of New Feminist Economics"
suggests questions,
more than emasculating

monopolistic competing toward total self-consuming
