From What Goes On: Selected and New Poems 1995 - 2009, by Stephen Dunn
TELL THEM
"Tell them I had second chances.
I knew joy.
I was burned by books early
and kept sidling up to the flame."
From A Postmortem Guide: For my eulogist, in advance
"I hold any writer sufficiently justified who is himself in love with his theme." -- Henry James
