>Dear Friends of Playa Poets:

>Our friend, the hard-working Elena Karina Byrne, tips us to the fact that
>the below-mentioned Marianne Moore Tribute will be better than keen;
>maybe even ecstatic.
>
>Our favorite Marianne Moore story involves her long correspondence
>with the Ford Motor Company, which asked her to help name one of its
>new vehicles.  After offering them tons of wonderful names, from nature,
>myth, etc., she eventually got a letter back saying they were going to
>name the car after the founder's grandson, Edsel Ford.
>
>Always listen to poets instead.
