Hacker News Reader

I clicked the link with my spine pre-cringed, ready for cheesy hacker poetry. Instead I found a lovingly crafted epitaph in stylish, uninterrupted verse. I immediately looked to see the other poetry. I was shocked that there were only two others posted --- I refuse to believe that someone who wrote this and The Little Bank of San Pietro dei Fiumi (also beautiful) has only written three poems. Post more, Mister Jorgensen!

So glad you enjoyed this, and "The Little Bank"! I just started the process of moving things out of the drawer and onto the site. There's a big backlog but I'm posting every week or two to avoid a "verse bomb" effect. However there's an RSS feed if you're interested.

Thanks again for the response. It's great to see that there are other hackers out there interested in poetry.

Both those poems make me excited at the quality of your Kindle book. Can't wait to read it!

Thanks! From your bio it looks like you're a classicist / hacker--which is pretty much the book's ideal audience.

Wonderful! Consider me subscribed.

I also just bought your book; I'm looking forward to it.

Great, would love to hear what you think...you can find my contact info on my site.
