Marc Bauch, a long-time ModPo CTA and convener of meet-ups, has sent me three of his own wonderful books of poetry. One of them (cover depicted here) responds directly to a favorite poem-generating version of our early (week 1) encounter with Dickinson as her influence continues into the aleatoric (week 9) present. Thank you, Marc, for the books & for all your efforts over the years to extend the ModPo community.
