Biography: I graduated from California Polytechnic College in Pomona, California in my past life. My first job was at a newspaper in the Display Advertising Department. I married, raised kids, horses, goats, chickens, dogs and cats for a seriously long time then escaped California to Georgia where I began real estate and stayed out in the woods entirely too long.

Jacquii: This is wonderful information. See how his poems sing! I'm going to print this info out on Longfellow so I can absorb more of it over time. I was recently reading some Wordsworth poems to my mom from a book she has, and hadn't realized how amazingly good he was also.
After slogging my way through Shakespere I became worried all the old poets were going to be as difficult. And since Shakespere is supposed to be the best of the best, knowing most of the time I can't make heads or tails of what he's saying, I haven't spent much time studying the rest of them. Thanks for putting this kind of information on your site!
