Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on February 26, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Clark Coolidge! May your day be filled with more surprises than a Polaroid developing upside-down and clearer insights than Quartz Hearts. Your poetic geology has always rocked our worlds—literally—and we can't wait to see what linguistic fossils you'll unearth next.

From Alien Tatters to The Act of Providence, you've proven that poetry can boldly go where no verse has gone before. Here's hoping this year brings you even greater adventures in language exploration—because let's face it, when you're involved, words don't just speak; they dance jazz solos across the page!

Cheers to another timelessly cool year ahead!
