Drove south a couple hundred miles, trespassed through some farm fields, fought of spiders, hopped over some streams off Wildcat Creek, and found my oldest Hoosier ancestors buried in the woods. G-G-G-G-Grandpa John Dehner, born 1778, and his wife Marie.

Hey, friends. I'm here to tell you that we've come to the end of FGP. While this page will remain available indefinitely, I've run out of energy and resources to keep posting more forgotten poems. Many thanks to you all for your support over these (almost) four years. Be well.
Here's "Therefore," by site-favorite William Dickey (1928-1994). Taken from his Selected Poems, In the Dreaming (1994). If there are editors out there reading this, someone publish this man's Complete Poems please!

My book of poems “American Divine” won the Richard Wilbur Award and came out in 2021. It sold well and had a good run. I want the whole world to read it, so I am now giving it away for free. Henceforth the book is this website; this website is the book! americandivine.com/
