August 12: Zekle's Courtin' (Vol. 42, pp. 1376-1379)
James Russell Lowell's poem "The Courtin'" is today's selection, and it's in a Robert Burns-like dialect style. Nineteenth century lovin' for those who care.
I have been involved in broadcast, print and online media in New England for nearly three decades.
Currently, I am the chief editorial writer at the Brattleboro (Vt.) Reformer.
I have also been a regular contributor since 1996 to The American Reporter, the first online-only daily newspaper in America.
I am a 1983 graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and 1997 graduate of Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. I was also an infantry sergeant in the Massachusetts Army National Guard from 1981 until 1987.
