Stephen Dobyn’s Poetry

Jessica Barksdale shared Stephen Dobyn’s poems with us, particularly “How you Like it.” The link below has three of his poems that were printed in The Cortland Review Issue 26. I agree with her the dog in “How you Like It” is memorable.

The Encyclopedia Britannica describes Dobyn as “American poet and novelist whose works are characterized by a cool realism laced with pungent wit.” He was born on February 19, 1941 in Orange, New Jersey.
