People often forget that Hardy (one of my favorite novelists) gave up novel writing after Jude the Obscure was so negatively received. He spent his last 30 years publishing only poetry.

Enjoyed that one, Patti. Actually I enjoy all these poetic excursions.
Patti - Oh, this was a nice choice! So many people think of Hardy as a novelist, but he was indeed a poet too.
