Seeing this, I pulled down my copy of EPOS, A Quarterly of Poetry from 1962, but it's not in there. I looked in the database and the Epos Issue/Volume numbers don't match those on my EPOS, A Quarterly of Poetry (which you have in the timeline and DB as Poems and Drawings, which makes some sense since that also appears on the cover). How does Epos relate to EPOS, A Quarterly of Poetry, if at all?Epos

They are one in the same. He was in 12 issues from 1959 to 1970.How does Epos relate to EPOS, A Quarterly of Poetry, if at all?
And if I may pick a nit (that's why we're here, after all), he was 46 when he attended that class (which he didn't necessarily want to be in - it was his wife's idea), but yes, he was probably 50 when he wrote the poem about it.
The greatest thing that ever happened to me is when I got to high school I discovered that once you got past the 10th grade you didn't have to take mathematics anymore. It was sweet saying goodbye to those math classes, I'll tell you...You mean he was 36 :wb:
Seeing as he probably wrote it in 1960 (or earlier) it's unlikely we'll ever see the manuscript. Unless it pops up in an auction one day.Does anybody have the unmutilated manuscript of this poem?
