coming in late, but haven't seen anyone mention langston hughes? *NM* moondog Send a noteboard - 30/03/2010 04:14:52 PM
I'm in the mood for it.

I like Goethe, Donne, e.e.cummings, Rilke, and that's about all I can think of right now. Oh, and Hone Tuwhare.

So. Tell me what you like & why.

Thanks.
