John Fuller quotes about
advantage parents
If parents want to take advantage of that they should look into it.
experience high issue originally school talked
I don't think the issue we originally talked about was educational, but the high school experience as a whole.
people written
Hmmm. I think a lot of people can write poems that are howls of anguish. I think I've probably written such things and then torn them up.
chief coming
If not for the chief coming by, at least one of our stallions would be dead,
chief decision door knocking stay whether
Chief (Lyons) was knocking on our door around 11 that night. He told us about the danger, and said we had to make a decision whether we were going to stay or go.
coordinate efforts fema operations state
We always coordinate our efforts with FEMA and the state EOC, (Emergency Operations Command).
poetry literature surprise
Poetry surprises us with what we already know.
names poetry guarantees
It is the unspecified 'you' of modern love poems that I am mostly concerned with here. At least, the addressee is commonly a lover, and the very fact that the name is withheld is offered as a guarantee of the closeness and significance of the relationship.
fancy love poetry public published though
When I began, poetry was very academic. You published little pamphlets from fancy presses. It was rather... chaste. There wasn't much public reading. Then there was poetry and jazz, which I don't think worked, though I love jazz.
