I love Kenneth Koch - I've said this before in these posts. You are right about his wonderful book, Wishes, Lies, and Dreams. Are you familiar with his book about teaching senior citizens in a nursing home to write poetry. I believe the book is called I Never Told Anybody. (1978)

I'd definitely like to have Homer (if he existed) to dinner. Just picked up a new copy of The Iliad to use as I make my way through mk's Odyssey. If you go to this link, start at the beginning.
