Read in this morning's Guardian (Nicholas Lazard's column): When Norman MacCaig published a collection of his rather dense poems he was asked "When are you publishing the answers?"
Yup, well it just appealed to me, but I dare say it'll not get much better than that, so you have been warned.

well I laughed!
I think Blogand could display several dense poems that need answers!! Or even translations? LOL :)
Love that statement as I am so dense myself many times and when a dense mind meets a dense poem...it is all quagmire from then on.

Funny you should say that - I'm working on a translation of one for tomorrow's post.

I don't believe a word of it.
Funny what tickles us, eh Dave? And this tickles!
Happy Birthday to Penguin Books.
Penguin turns 75 is news indeed. Nothing like having a row of good Penguins on the shelf.
Your funny is 'funny.'
I have a brother-in-law, big, burly, funny, dear. A life long smoker, loves his whiskey, plays poker with the best of them ~ you get the idea. He has had a few health related issues along the way. Now it seems he has an aneurysm (not terrifically large).. his physician has urged him to quit with the cigarettes. In a meeting with my sis present the good doctor suggested replacing sex each time he had an urge to smoke.
Without missing a beat, my b-i-l said 'well, I'd have to have a smoke after the sex.' The good doctor just laughed and gave up.
Hope you laughed ..........
"stick up summink" made my day!
I like the McCaig anecdote Dave - think it could apply to many poets. When I think of the hours I have spent in lectures discussion what the poet means by a certain line.
On the theme of McCaig though - I love his poetry.
I like that one a lot Dave...
Carl
Made me laugh and I don't even know MacCaig's work. I keep meaning to check him out.
I think 50% of my books are Penguin, happy birthday to then indeed!
Haiku's 219 and 220 are fine !!
and I laughed, too....
given your sense of humour ( and the absurd) these next posts ought to be things of beauty!!
Why didn't someone tell me there were answers? ...now it all becomes clear...

I'm tickled very easily.

I remember my first one: it was "microbes by the Million." My next was "Plato's Dialogues". Early days, they were. It was yonks before I could read them and really understand them.
Paul
Absolutely!
Helen
