DID YOU KNOW?
Poet patriot Joyce Kilmer was never one to shrink from a challenge. When an editor at The New York Times told him a lot of things couldn't be treated in poetry -- for instance a delicatessen -- Kilmer disagreed and made a small wager to prove his point. The result was his delightful and delectable poem, “Delicatessen,” a favorite among his fans.
