And I didn't not get along with Mark, though I didn't especially hit it off with him, either. He was good entertainment -- once, as we all sat waiting for him to come to the class he was supposed to be teaching, another classmate arriving said he'd seen him, and that Mark's message to us had been, "Tell them all *Strand* will be late." <BR/><BR/>I'd love to hear the settings of the poems.

Mark Strand was a teacher of mine in graduate school -- an experience which I've put behind me rather firmly for all kinds of reasons (all of grad school, not just Mark), and I had honestly forgotten how breathtaking his poems can be.Sally Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05014351173194941624noreply@blogger.com
