Saint Louis

Today is the feast day of Saint Louis Untermeyer, who died on December 18, 1977.  Here are some links in his memory:

His anthology, Modern British Poetry,

his anthology, Modern American Poetry,

and

a brief biography at http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/.

I grew up with a paperback Untermeyer anthology that I loved.  He may have been middlebrow, but he taught me more than many more refined authors.

Any religion that says Untermeyer is not a saint can go, as far as I am concerned, straight to Hell.
