Funding
Michael Symmons Roberts’s ‘Horsemen’ is quoted here with the kind permission of Penguin Random House and Roberts’s agent. I am beholden to the H. W. Donner foundation at Åbo Akademi University for funding my work on Roberts’s poetry, and Professor Anthony W. Johnson for his many perspicacious comments on it; especially his recognition that Roberts’s poem adapts the structure of Auden’s. Thank you to Mariann Hilli for her comments on style. I am also thankful for my anonymous reviewer’s constructive comments. Thank you, furthermore, to Ann Tso and to Stephen Joyce for including my essay in this issue. Finally, I am grateful to Curtis Brown for granting me permission to reproduce parts of ‘The Fall of Rome’ (Copyright © 1947 by The Estate of W. H. Auden. Reprinted by permission of Curtis Brown, Ltd. All rights reserved.) here.
