Happy Birthday, Geoffrey Hill! May your day be filled with more joy than a stanza from "Mercian Hymns" and fewer edits than an academic manuscript. Your poetic brilliance continues to inspire us all—though we're still trying to decipher some of those metaphors!Congratulations on another year of literary triumphs and scholarly achievements. From winning the Alice Hunt Bartlett Prize back in '71 to crafting timeless masterpieces like "Without Title," you've proven that poetry ages better than fine wine—or at least better than most academics' lecture notes. Here's wishing you laughter, inspiration, and perhaps a rhyme or two today!
