Biografía breve
Robert Louis Peters (October 20, 1924 – June 13, 2014) was an American poet, critic, scholar, playwright, editor, and actor born in an impoverished rural area of northern Wisconsin in 1924. He held a Ph.D in Victorian literature.[1] His poetry career began in 1967 when his young son Richard died unexpectedly of spinal meningitis. The book commemorating this loss, Songs for a Son, was selected by poet Denise Levertov to be published by W. W. Norton in 1967, and it still remains in print. Songs for a Son began a flood of poetry.

A professor of literature (1968-1991) at the University of California, Irvine, I met him in theatre--he was upgrading his readings.… (más)

Found poetry: prose writing lifted from its original context and re-lineated to resemble verse. This is one of my favorite pastimes, and Peters & Hitchcock have come up with some beauties. I'll give you just one, very brief, example, from a public health text called Rats and How to Destroy Them (London, 1924):


Observation


It is a
waste of time
and money
to pour tar
down rat-holes.
