I would like to assure you all that i am in relatively fine fettle and not, as of yet, lubbered…
Congratulations on this big achievement – I shall be ordering it shortly – and look forward to reading it.
Marvelous, and I hope many aspiring poets have the ambition to read it.
Congratulations!
This is a grand and lovely affair. Having purchased the Society’s annual journal, I am able to assure everyone that SCP publications are always superb, wonderfully accessible, professional looking productions. There are many young poets with little experience for whom this would serve as an excellent and timeless reference—not to mention older poets new to the arcanes of traditional versification. I speak for many seasoned poets in recommending “How To Write Classical Poetry” to high school and college English faculty as a standard preparation for surveys of English poetry, as well creative writing courses, in their curricula.
Excellence extended. Uncommon.
