He...Interesting, but<br /><br />Calvin Trillin is not a poet.<br />He writes his opinions in clever rhymes, but they are not poetry.<br />Real formed verse with political content can be found by Edna St Vincent Millay<br />who wrote about war and peace, conscientious objection, and many other subjects.<br /><br />Also ref W H Auden's The Shield of Achiles <br /><br />I have a few good political poems of my own.<br />I hope you enjoyed EPI's book you got last year.<br /><br />I have given up sending poetry to The Nation because Trillin occupies that slot pretty completely.<br /><br />Happy hunting.<br />Hope you stay in the area.Carolynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123158255381065489.post-91014866332158931402011-12-05T11:24:54.785-08:002011-12-05T11:24:54.785-08:00Dream job: labor lawyer.

It's like playing a gigantic, real-world version of "Risk" -- nothing but strategy, tactics, and implementation, day after day. You get to meet a whole bunch of different people from all walks of life, including lots and lots of fantastic folks you'd never meet otherwisee, and work with them to drive corporations crazy. <br /> <br />You can make a living doing it, too. <br /> <br />And sometimes -- just sometimes -- you can actually make a difference. See:<br /><br /> <br />Sometimes it's not clear that we're making any difference at all, but it's sure still a fight worth having.

I'm not saying it's easy, and it isn't always fun, but being in control of my time and location makes it worthwhile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123158255381065489.post-57496682356638566442011-12-03T21:56:21.408-08:002011-12-03T21:56:21.408-08:00My dream job?

I've even drafted a blog about it, and am thinking of posting it later this month...Steve Masoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03387484207819808962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123158255381065489.post-42938180113536885492011-12-03T19:41:07.545-08:002011-12-03T19:41:07.545-08:00Herman Cain?
