If anyone read any of my other blogs you would read that initially I didn't like Robinson for the way his poems ended with cliffhangers.

I like this brand of folklore. The legend of John Henery I think is especially prevelent to this area because of the mining towns and the steel mills in Pittsburgh. I live out by Mammoth Park, so even...
