70 years old (Born on September 26, 1954)
Happy Birthday, Anne Rouse! May your day be as delightful and timeless as the verses you've crafted in "Sunset Grill"—though hopefully with fewer existential crises over diner menus. Your poetry has always reminded us that life's greatest truths often hide behind humor and subtlety; here's hoping today's cake hides nothing but delicious frosting.From "The School of Night" to the brilliant reflections in "Timing," you’ve captured our hearts (and occasionally confused our minds) beautifully. With your latest collection, “The Upshot,” you've proven once again that poets age like fine wine—or at least better than leftover metaphors.
Cheers to another year of poetic mischief!
