I just had coffee with Reginald

That is, his fine new poems in the Sept/Oct American Poetry Review. The poems are accompanied by a short interview that focuses on the way autobiography collides with myth in his poems--among other subjects, including how Reginald used blogging in the creation of his recent prose work, among which is his book Orpheus in the Bronx. Sorry--can't figure out italics. Too old for the phrase "shout-out".

And Reginald's last name would be?

Shepherd. He blogged here for many months, until his death a month and a half ago.
