He flows, he dances, he's alive, and accomplishes all three at once. And humor? Sure. But not slight snickers from academe: Catullus and Edward Lear laughter. None of us know what time is: but it makes hair grey and hurricanes enjoyment into memory which is often the same thing. We remember, all of us, the moment of happening; in these poems it's happening now. Al Purdy
