?The Pulitzer Prize-winning poet talked Thursday to a packed dining
hall about how hard to it was to order a harpsichord for his wife.
After giving the instrument maker the money for the harpsichord, he
never shipped the harpsichord back to Snodgrass. The incident caused
Snodgrass to write the poem "Against A.H., Who Does Not Make
Instruments: A Curse."
