Fourth of Five

I have been seeing some great response to this trivia...I think he should double my pay just for having pulled it together. Oh, that's right...I'm a volunteer. Okay, triple my pay.

61. "Virgin's Dawn" was a title of an earlier poem he scrapped, then recycled for the tribute to Aurora, one of his minor muses.
62. His quote "a quote is but a tattoo on the tongue" was issued in response to interviewer quoting his earlier "the existence of a single atheist does not disprove the existence of God". That quote was given to a different interviewer - who asked him for his view on the limited awareness of the works of modern poets in the public.
63. There is a French-speaking poet in Quebec named Gilles DeVault. His name literally translates to William DeVault.
64. The site where he gave the first public readings of his "Pink Jade" works and "I rained poetry" was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina.
65. The orginal covers of both "from an unexpected quarter" and "love gods of a forgotten religion" were rejected due to nudity (not his, the model's).
66. His 41st birthday party had a guest list that included his daughter, a four of his once or future muses. His friend Anastacia, who inspired the poem "Sex Cookies," boycotted the party.
67. The quote that opens "The Fifth Song of the Amomancer" is from the Vulgate and translates "(Love) Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth". It is from 1st Corinthians 13:6
68. His first paid reading was at California College of Pennsylvania.
69. All of his muses appear, in some form or another, in his 400-line poem "Diogenes".
70. The poem "Epitaph" was written for his own funeral, but invokes a childhood memory of his paternal grandfather and namesake.
71. The line "barren bones and paramour" in his poem "Bragi, awakening in his tomb" was originally the title of a poem he scrapped. A reverse of his usual habit of spinning off phrases and lines into poems of their own.
72. There is both a poem called "Dance of the Decades" and one called "Dance of Decades". The Decade Dancer is not a muse, but an expression of his own sense of mortality. In some works he writes it "decadancer".
73. "A dragon" always refers to him in his works, even if in opposition to him.
74. "Copper" was written as a philosophical sigh after being dumped by a recently divorced lover.
75. The totem-muse "The Truth" got her name from a tattoo of a Tao symbol on her hip.
76. For a year he served as a film reviewer for AOL's hub "Roadside USA". In his final column he looked forward to upcoming films, saying of the yet-unreleased "Titanic" that it would "end Jim Cameron's career, as no one is going to sit in the dark for four hours to watch a ship sink". He points to that line as the reason why he will not return to film reviewing.
77. He hates microphones at live readings, often hanging his jacket over them to get them out of his field of vision.
78. The book "Love Gods of a Forgotten Religion" has no index. By design.
79. He recently said in an interview that editing THE COMPLEAT PANTHER CYCLES by himself was the most emotionally stressful experience of his life, owing to both the size of the project and the emotional debris that was stirred up.
80. In the preface of "Love Gods..." he thanks, among others, every woman he has ever been involved with, their first names...except the Panther, who is unreferenced. At all. They were feuding at the time.
