English Minor's Early Epigram, 1
In college, in the staid mid-Seventies,
the English faculty was quite despotic:
all readings had to fit the Eliotic
judgment. Odd were transformed to awkward evens.
The stars had not yet constellated Stevens.
Blank anonyms professed anomalies
that separated us from poetry's
delights. Only impeding graduation
from liberal arts secured our liberation.
