Author has written 25 stories for Action, Essay, General, Fable, Song, Friendship, Love, Life, General, Religion, Family, Work, and Fantasy.

3. Elegy for Elegy for Jane
Personally, I think Theodore Roethke's Elegy for Jane sucks. Not as bad as this satire makes it out to be, but meh, I'm mean. Grr.
