thanks for posting these beautiful poems tom. i look forward to getting my hands on more of moscovitch's work. it's hard to believe he isn't better known.

Can anyone tell me the full name of H.M. from Book of Longing? I remember an earlier posting on the Files about this person, I think it was him, but don't remember his name, and havn't been able to find it.

Thanks!

my memory is just not going to come back with that and i don't have any of miller's books here. it was probably in one of the tropics. but its there "monsters of love" or maybe just "monster of love" i remember reading that and wondering if leonard had read it.
