I have read every single poem in this book. There are also several other books such as DEKA 1 and DEKA 2 that also have excellent poems in them. I have several of Dr. Swetman's books as I am a student of his. We are having a poetry class this summer!!! EXCITING!! Can not wait!!
Some good poems in Concerning Carpenters include:
*His Son Was Not so Clever*
*After a Lecture on The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner I thumb through a Detective Magazine at the Newstand while Looking over My shoulder*
*To Zereda*

Thanks for the recommendation. I was commenting the other day on a few of Dr. Swetman's line choices in "Oh, What a Tangled Web". He is really excellent, and I'm surprised I had never seen his work before. It sounds like a book to purchase.

The last book of poetry I bought was titled "Oh What A Tangled Web." I would be happy to read the professor''s poetry and to buy his book, if I can find it.

No, have not...looking forward to the postings.

And we'll be waiting to see Mr. Swetman's work...thanks, TD!
