If you don't know ...

... Michael Schmidt (and I don't mean Michael Jack, the Phillies great third baseman), you should. Norm Geras offers an introduction: Writer's choice 55: Michael Schmidt. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

    Yo Frank,
    I notice the Normblog describes Michael Schmidt as a professor of poetry at the University of Glasgow.
    Knopf, Schmidt's U.S. publisher, has him being the Director of the Writing Program at Manchester Metropolitan University and editor of the poetry magazine, PN Review in that city as well. I just mention it because my daughter goes to school there at MMU.
    I suppose he could hold all 3 posts though.

  2. Good God, John, maybe he IS the Phillies' great third baseman after all!
