Famous Poet Dreams

C. Dale Young has had a number of dreams in which John Ashbery appears. He talks about this on his blog. Have you ever had a dream involving a famous poet? My old teacher Larry Levis appeared in one or two dreams of mine, but that’s it. I visited Ireland a couple of years ago and went to Yeats’ Thoor Ballylee and wrote a poem about the experience. I always hoped while I was either writing the poem or revising it that Yeats would make an appearance in one of my dreams.
