Happy Birthday Oscar Wilde!

October 16, 2008

It’s Oscar Wilde‘s birthday today. He was born in Dublin in 1854.

I only know this because I get daily emails from The Writer’s Almanac– and you can too–click here.

Every day I get a poem in my email, plus trivia and tidbits about writers born on that day.

Here’s a great quote from him. I think it says something about revision.

I was working on the proof

of one of

my poems all the morning,

and took out a comma. In the

afternoon I put it

back again.

Or not.
