Richard Nester's commentary on his title poem for the collection Buffalo Laughter greatly enhanced my enjoyment of the poem, and the collection in general. On my first reading, I imagined Buffalo breaking chairs thus giving humanity a reason to evict them from the room--the green and fertile plains on which they lived, Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708161544672700715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539948.post-89925637042858142522014-04-02T16:11:42.101-04:002014-04-02T16:11:42.101-04:00Hi there, Ricki--

After reading his fascinating post-poem comments - which simultaneously amused me, made me think, and made me want to write – I know the next course will serve even more than the wit and well-chosen words of the appetizer poem.

I really enjoyed the title poem, but as I read the rumination about the title, I wonder if "buffalo laughter" is an oxymoron so much as an improbable but curiously delightful image. :) But I shall not think overmuch on it.
