You've organized this so well.  Sheesh.  I sure can't get mine that way.

Well, before Louis Untermeyer died (?) he promised me that if I kept a well-organized series of poems at the ready, he would return (?) and bring out one last critical edition...

Won't that be fun.  If any of your writing seems lifeless, he'll know what to do with that too.

Oh my, what a handsome nose.  And who is Louis?  Well, whoever he is you'll be able to say someone truly turned over in his grave at your writing.

He was appointed the fourteenth Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress in 1961

Lovely .....never heard of Untermeyer until now .....
and found this fabulous tidbit from wikipedia

In 1950, he was a panelist during the first year of What's My Line?. According to Bennett Cerf, Untermeyer would sign virtually any piece of paper that someone placed in front of him, and Untermeyer inadvertently signed a few Communist proclamations.[3] According to Cerf, Untermeyer was not at all a communist, but he had joined several suspect societies that made him stand out.[3] He was named during the hearings by the House Committee on Un-American Activities investigating communist subversion. The Catholic War Veterans and "right wing organizations" began hounding Mr. Untermeyer. Goodson-Todman held out against the protests of Untermeyer as long as they could, but finally veterans began picketing the theater. The pressure became too great, and the sponsor Jules Montenier said, “After all, I'm paying a lot of money for this. I can't afford to have my product picketed.”[3] At that point, the producers told Untermeyer that he had to leave the program. This action led to Bennett Cerf becoming a permanent member of the program.[3] The controversy surrounding Untermeyer led to him being blacklisted by industry.

A fine blast from my distant past to hear "Goodson-Todman" (Productions) again!
Your post led me to look up Cerf. Turns out he grew up in the building next to my wife in Wash. Hts., and where she and I lived in her dead grannie's apt. for a while before fleeing with bullets whistling past our ears. Turns out he published Faulkner, who I've been writing about in Workshop, and sucessfully sued censors to publish Ulysses.
Thanks, SL. Tom
