It looks like the chump book beat the chimp book into print, and the
chimp is not happy about it at all.

Having read the above title over the years

One has to wonder: Just how many years has the chimp been reading the
above title (Selected Poems 1976-2019)? I could have sworn that Will
came up with those particular dates only in 2019, but if the chimp says
he's been reading them for years, then it must be true, right?

'collection' is a poetic remembrance from the
years 1976-2019.

It is? That must be in a review I missed, perhaps one from "Richard's
poetry group." We may get lucky and have the chimp post that for us,
too.

He says little about

True, the book contains none of the chimp's poems about Will Dockery;
and none of NastyGene's poems about Will; and not even any poems by PJ
Ross, or anyone else, about Will either. We included only poems by Will. >>>
That's a big void in the aapc literary output still to be chronicled. I
realize that the chimp is too busy, with his own 3-years-in the making
masterpiece to work on; but there's always the editor he tried to talk
Will into hiring for this book. That guy must have plenty of free time.

One can envision it now: "FAT," a companion volume to "FLOAT" - right
down to the similar artwork, but (of course) with the fetuses on the
cover having much bigger tummies.

And don't forget to save your pennies for FLOAT (and possibly FAT),
coming in 2020 - or not.

Well put, thanks again, George.

I love

Thanks for the nod, Harry.
