Doreen LeBlanc’s poems: garlands of lovely words woven with distinction. “Well worth a read,” pronounced
Robert Mueller, as we made our way to Columbia’s Grad School of Arts and Sciences reunion, where, at Havemeyer Hall we heard all about Godzilla and the Cold War; Darfur, now; Codex Hammurabi inscribed in basalt; and the symphonic illuminations of Haydn.
But, at coffee and cookies, what did we do?
We spoke again of eclectic Spinozablue!

But I also like the punning moment whereby, if you will forgive me, "Altea" makes me think of the flower called "Althea," which is the hibiscus (Latin name <em>Hibiscus syriacus</em>) or Rose of Sharon. So doesn't the Yo-Yo Ma poem, with its loving emotions, regale a bit like -- not exactly but somewhat like -- the beloved's celebration of her lover's attentions in the Song of Solomon (King James Version), Chapter 2, beginning "I am the Rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys"? It's a stretch perhaps, but one the poems as a coupling may invite. And they delight in the same way that this Biblical interlude delights, for me at least.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('420','Robert Mueller'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('420','Robert Mueller','I love these poems, too, as evocations and as delicious verbal textures.
