I subscribed today, not only because I value your thoughts and what you do here, but because I love these frog themed selections. To anyone similarly inspired, there’s a beautifully-done frog poem in William Carlos Willam’s book *Al Que Quiere!* titled “Pastoral.”
All so freakin froggy great! And the Bheilduiuin! And its a translation! "sucking syllables muddily /through paper-thin skin" "help them to float-/ these slimy verses/in their tiny paper boat"
