  Thank you Alan. I happen on this by "chance", glad to see & hear Ralph here now again. I spoke with him last perhaps six weeks before his exit -- he was reading a 9th century Byzantine Greek translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses, Hadn't I heard of it? A wonderful friend, teacher, mentor, loved friend. I am missing him daily. And Mike, who predeceased him by weeks, as he wanted, "not to leave my love alone." Who is there left to read Latin poetry as poetry as he could? The Idea of Lyric is permanent, and Darkness Visible, and the book on Propertius (A Latin Lover in Ancient Rome), and the essay on Catullus and the Neoterics, and Lucretius and Other Sonnets, and ... Ave atque vale, RJ.

  Their follow up, The Lover, is another masterpiece.

  Interesting emotionless, stream-of-consciousness, chronological recounting of every self-destructive impulse driving the protagonist.

  It is with profound sadness that I report the death of my friend W. Ralph Johnson on Saturday April 13, 2024 in Culver City, California. I am pleased to report his mind was sound in his last days. I was fortunate to speak to him the week before he died.

  This is essentially the text of 'On Communicative Difficulty in General and "Difficult" Poetry in Particular: The Example of Hart Crane's "The Broken Tower"' by ALLEN GROSSMAN, published in the Chicago Review, Vol. 53, No. 2/3 (AUTUMN 2007), pp. 140-161. Info from Jstor.

  All of Allen Grossman's lectures at Johns Hopkins (Structuring the Human World I [the classics] and II ["the Bible to Beckett"], as well as Poetry A Basic Course) were recorded on cassette, as far as I remember from nearly 30 years ago. They should be archived at the MS Eisenhower library but one wonders if they could be digitally rendered. They should be.

  Wow. Just wow. I thought of Notley today and "randomly" clicked this talk on KZread because my poetry book club meets today and we once read her a long time ago. She says that chance and coincidence is difficult. I think she was brought into my life to release me of my ignorance and doubt of my own dreaming experience as if she was one of the angels that visit Christine in Le Livre de la Cité des Dames. I woke up today from an endless series of dreams. My husband says I talked and spent all night dreaming, like every night. He calls it my second world... I wake up and take my dreams with me through all my perceptions and writing. I feel like I've awoken a second time today encountering Notley. Like to find a very real friend.

  This reading was intense, powerful, and gripping with touches of humor. I could see it playing out as though it was a movie while he was reading. This reading has rocked me! This is my year to read some of the works of this gifted writer. Thank you for making this available to the public.

  Either this was never there in work of your's that I have known--and it might--likely was--there to have been, sense bulb totally massaged like thumbed raw clay to blind homogeneity that I am---or this is exultant and your unprecedented greatest made thing and, also, some kind of on read eulogy to hearts never able to meld ( and if that melding WERE to happen it would be finished and forgettable and morbidly perfect, some latex elgin marble, and not at all what this is) with any other, or else this summons that which had been asleep to the desire to pine for not quite being able to merge with, about and because of--and loving it. I love this please god make me seminal that my journey through it might be singular and I-care-not-how --progenitive. Warmest regards, MTT In short, Thank you Cody and compliments to the locution. Peace too.

  Ben I liked hearing about 21 too. I want to know him. I live in South Shore and braced myself because all we get from anyone talking on the screen is death reports. Thanks. I publish the South Side Drive Magazine: Guide to the Good Life Chicago.

  I was impressed to hear my friend Beverly Reed Scott's name mentioned here. My son will be impressed. What an amazing comment and how insightful Ben was to think that it needed to be pulled out. To Beverly, I say, He read you well. And your recovery is our blessing and you remain relentless in your celebration of everything good. Yes. Beverly is a positive social action.
