- X. J. Kennedy Three words run through my mind repeatedly as I read Robert McGovern's Fool: Selected Poems - intelligence, sensitivity, compassion. This work withstands the tests of craft and life. - Lewis Turco About the Author A writer as well as a scholar, Robert McGovern (1927-2002) published two books of poems: A Feast of Flesh (Ashland Poetry Press, 1974) and Fool: Selected Poems (Ashland Poetry Press, 2001). McGovern was co-founder of the Ashland Poetry Press in 1969. With Richard Snyder, McGovern developed the creative writing major at Ashland University, one of the first programs in the country. He succeeded Snyder as chair of the English Department in 1986 and retired from teaching and administrative work on campus in 1999. His poems have appeared in The Nation, Kansas Quarterly, The Hollins Critic, Cleveland Magazine, Christian Century, and in many other journals. |
