Great Regulars: When asked how his poetry has changed

throughout his six-decade writing career, award-winning poet Robert Sward replies, "I haven't changed. I'm still writing about dogs."Indeed, his recently released collection, "New and Selected Poems 1957-2011," is animated with the various canine companions that have graced Sward's life. And his voice throughout the collection remains relatively unchanged, with a plainspoken, natural language that draws on the American idiom--as well as a quirky sense of humor.
