I realized from the content of NancyGene's posts that they were

Naturally, I asked them to start contributing to the "Sampler."  And I
was right in doing so.

That's poetry of the highest quality.

The opening line is very good. It's almost as good as the opening line
of Robert Creeleys poem, "The Days Pile Up":

I do hope "Dr." NastyGoon credited Mr. Creeley; otherwise that would be
something they would call, you know -- "plagiarism".

I'm looking forward to finally seeing the Robert Creeley poem, so we can

Since no such poem appears in the pdf version of the book that NancyGene
downloaded, you shouldn't expect it to turn up in the hard copy.

You don't know which Robert Creeley book George Dance ordered.
George Dance ordered the book that contains the Robert Creeley poem in
question.

Speaking of which, what do you think of a man who buys a book

Actually, Robert Creeley's poetry is well worth having some copies of on
the book shelf.
Meanwhile, there's no reason to continue this discussion until George's
copy of the Robert Creeley book arrives.
And so it goes.
