@almon_bert @ae_stallings That's a very good question. If nowhere else, I suspect they're with his papers, though this link might help as well: archive.org/details/willia…

@ae_stallings @ForgottenGPoems He sent me his hypertext poems. They vanished with my Mac SE. I wonder if anyone has copies? They were an interesting experiment.
"The Rainbow Grocery" was a fine melancholy poem.

Hey, friends. I'm here to tell you that we've come to the end of FGP. While this page will remain available indefinitely, I've run out of energy and resources to keep posting more forgotten poems. Many thanks to you all for your support over these (almost) four years. Be well.

Here's "Therefore," by site-favorite William Dickey (1928-1994). Taken from his Selected Poems, In the Dreaming (1994). If there are editors out there reading this, someone publish this man's Complete Poems please!

Although I totally understand and respect the decision I will miss this wonderfully curated account, and I know I’m not alone. It’s been such a gift to this community.

Here's a John Allman replay for your Sunday.
Forgotten Good Poems@ForgottenGPoems
Here's "Reconciliation," a quiet, unsettling poem by John Allman. Taken from his 1979 collection, Walking Four Ways in the Wind.

Here are two poems by Anne Hussey (1934-?), taken from her only book of poems, Baddeck and other poems (1978). She's mentioned at least once (favorably) in the Lowell / Bishop correspondence, but there's little else I could find about her.
English
Here's "Lost," by Margaret Haley (1906-?), taken from her 1937 collection, The Gardener Mind. According to the Yale Younger Poets anthology, little is known about her besides that she attended Bryn Mawr and supposedly moved to Caracas in the late '30s to write "suspense fiction."
English
Here's "Convalescent" by Louise Townsend Nicholl (1890-1981). Taken from her Collected Poems (1953).

I just completed a fairly gigantic list of poet-translators whose work might be interesting, mainly for @ForgottenGPoems to take a look at. Looking back on it, this probably wasn't the best use of my time, but if anyone else wants to look, feel free to DM me.

Patric Dickinson for your Friday!
Forgotten Good Poems@ForgottenGPoems
Here's "Middle Age," by Patric Dickinson (1914-1994). Taken from Selected Poems (1968). Many thanks to @claughton_s for suggesting this poet. More Dickinson tomorrow and Monday (including the poem that Stephen suggested when recommending Dickinson to me).

Here's some Jonathan Griffin for your Thursday.
Forgotten Good Poems@ForgottenGPoems
Here are two poems by Jonathan Griffin (1906-1990), from his collection, The Fact of Music (1980). His work reminds me of George Oppen's and William Bronk's. Griffin was also a translator of Pessoa, Char & Kazantzakis. He served as head of BBC European Intelligence during WWII.
