Re: NastyGoon lifts a line

We searched the BOOKS "The Collected Poems of Robert Creeley, 1945-1975"
and "The Collected Poems of Robert Creeley, 1975-2005," with no results
for "The Days Pile Up" or "The days pile up like unread newspapers." Undeterred, we then searched the BOOKS for the words "newspapers,"
"piled," or "unread," with no results for a poem with even a tiny
resemblance to the poem Mr. Dance insists that we plagiarized. We have
also searched other collections of Robert Creeley BOOKS, with no results
for "The Days Pile Up" or "The days pile up like unread newspapers" as
the first (or any) line.
Mr. Creeley died in 2005.  The above are his complete published works,
with titles and first lines of the poems.  If Mr. Dance has a secret
cache of unpublished Creeley poems, he should let the Creeley estate
know about it.
