Donald Hall
To apprehend both bliss & loss, read Judith Moore’s interview with Donald Hall (originally published in the San Diego Reader) online at Poetry Daily -- then ponder the two books published after Jane Kenyon’s untimely death: her own Otherwise & Hall’s Without.

With Donne & Marvell, Herbert is one of the primary Metaphysicals, a religious & ecclesiastical poet who nonetheless appeals to today’s secular readers. A good number of his poems are at the University of Toronto’s Representative Poetry Online & Luminarium has links to his works elsewhere on the Net.

An original, a heepening in his own write who was a founder of the Fluxus Movement who created the first Happenings, Dick Higgins died in October 1998. Born in 1938, Higgins also published Something Else Press, one of the more out-there small presses. Dig in deep the snowflakes of his influence.
