The famous Poet Laureate <br />of North Dakota State <br />has been suspended on full pay <br />just because one merry day <br />attending a writers' conference <br />at a restaurant, under the influence <br />of the Bacchic nectar he'd imbibed <br />there were incidents, yet undescribed. <br />But his students have Larry Woiwode's promise <br />to deal with their theses on Dylan Thomas <br />and other poets. Ironic, it must seem <br />to all those drunk with poetry, in Academe?<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/0289-bacchus-god-of-poetry-and-wine/
