Most certainly that IS the reason, that IS why. Thank you both ❤️
Thanks for sharing this, Cliff. I've never heard of Clint before. Thanks for introducing him to us. His style, from the poems read here, seems very similar to Mr. Billy Collins: imaginative, quietly witty and very accessible (which, in my opinion, is a valued trait too often overlooked). I could almost hear BC's voice as they were being read. I especially like the conversation about necrologues, a practice that shapes an attitude, which shapes a practice. I'll definitely check out Clint's work. Thanks again and keep up the good work. 👍
Hi Clifford, I am really enjoying your KZread program that I stumbled on quite by chance. I value how down to earth, yet informative it is. And it was good to hear the poetry of Clint Margrave. Thank you from a fellow poet!
