What was the name of the poet who helped me during Resolute Cliff?
I wanted to know; the feeling of assistance alone was not enough. I knew Kleinzahler liked him. That I could remember, but the name? I knew where I could go to get it, but didn’t. Then it came to me through the PN Review, and the search I’d forgotten I was undertaking was concluded with that rush of connexion: “Remembering Lee Harwood (1939 – 2015)”. *
* PNR 43:5 May / June 2017 issue 235, p. 44, “Defeating the Gloom Monster” by Anne Stevenson.
(This piece was originally published August 2017 and subsequently lost in a simultaneous host and backup server meltdown. It’s wild out here on the fringe!)
