News at Eleven: In a recent poem,

"After the War," he [Jim Harrison] devoted a verse to his dog, to the rattlesnake that killed it. "Rose was struck twice by a rattler/in the yard, a fang broken off in her eyeball./Now old dog and old master each/have an eye full of bloody milk . . ." It occurred to me that maybe I should be writing some of this down.
