  1. Just this afternoon, I came across notes from a course I took from the Geoffrey Hill ten years ago. Frankly, I’m not sure I’m smart enough to understand my notes, but the class was extraordinary (he’s as pensively methodical about choosing his words while speaking as he is while writing). I’ll enjoy reading your review.

  2. Hello Janice,

    A heads up, I’ll be closing my WordPress account as I’ve decided not to use it. I enjoy blogging at Blogger (provides access to template while giving me option of design, adding css, other, etc) and will be continuing my blogging there at http://ascreamingwriter.blogspot.com

    I’ll let you know when I’ve purchased and read the your two novels noted on your main website – I’m really looking forward to those.

    I’ve listed you in my links list and will continue reading your site here on WordPress as well.

    Have a Great week.
    Kimberley

  3. Mrs K: What a great experience Geoffrey Hill’s class must have been! His erudition is remarkable. The pub date of “Without Title” was supposed to be February, but it’s beem moved to April 30, so I’ll review it a little closer to the end of the month. I’d love to know anything more you can tell us about him then (and I’m sure others would, too) … Hill sometimes called “a poet’s poet.”
