Vintatge Buffalo Bill's

I was hanging about on The Coffee-Stained Writer this evening, soaking up another wonderful treatise on the writing of poetry. She used an e e cummings poem as an example, which immediately reminded me of my all-time favorite poem of his - Buffalo Bill's. That prompted me to do a search, which led to this:

How do you know when you're a literature geek? When you come across a .jpeg image of the original published piece from the Dial, ca. 1920, in Wikipedia, and go "Squee! OMG, I don't believe it!!11!!1!"

That's how.

Ogods. Here comes a treatise on my favorite poets. And I have too much to do... so much stupid to smack down... argh. Must. Wait. Until. Later.

In the meantime, treat yourselves to some Robert Burns, W.H. Auden, Emily Dickinson, and Abu Nuwas. We'll discuss this later, after the burning stupid.
