Jessica Barksdale shared Stephen Dobyn’s poems with us, particularly “How you Like it.” The link below has three of his poems that were printed in The Cortland Review Issue 26. I agree with her the dog in “How you Like It” is memorable.
The Encyclopedia Britannica describes Dobyn as
American poet and novelist whose works are characterized by a cool realism laced with pungent wit.” He was born on February 19, 1941 in Orange, New Jersey.http://www.cortlandreview.com/issue/26/dobyns.html
