[Newspoetry] A NewsPoet quoted in wide-circulation

[John]

Unfortunately, it's not my poetry that got me there -- it's my obsession
with another poet. 

Here's a link to the article on the web for anyone interested in the subject
http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/0208/p20s01-alip.html

The article is on Victor Hugo.  He is celebrating his 200th birthday this
month.  The journalist emailed me several weeks ago, and asked me for my
thoughts on Hugo's life and works.  I had no idea what to expect.
