Uncle Wesli’s Daily Epitaph for Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Edmund_spenser
 

R.I.P. EDMUND SPENSER

c. 1552 - January 13, 1599

 

His vast romance, “The Faerie Queene,”

Cannot be read but may be seen

To need the work of a condenser —

Too late, we fear, for Edmund Spenser.


By a peculiar coincidence, today, Spenser's deathday,  this intervew with Lewis Turco on the subject of science-fiction and genre poetry appeared on Michael Chasar's blog "Poetry and Popular Culture" at this URL where Spenser's great opus was prominently mentioned: http://mikechasar.blogspot.com/2010/01/poetry-pop-culture-heroes-firefly-sci.html .
