- I have a slight qualm about my own wording. Swan provided a cover illustration for Live or Die; but I'm not sure that's technically the same as "illustrating" it. She definitely illustrated Kumin's Pulitzer-winning Up Country and Sexton's non-Pulitzer-winning Transformations, providing several drawings to go with the poems. Maybe there's a better way of putting it. (need help, brain broken) --Rosekelleher (talk) 15:13, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

I like ALT2. Length, date, hook's ref verified. All non-lede paragraphs have refs; all refs appear to be RS. No apparent close paraphrasing. ALT2's hook length is fine. QPQ done. GTG, but let's wait on the article's promotion until after 2 May when the image issue should be resolved. --Rosiestep (talk) 16:05, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. Speaking of image issues, I don't know exactly how this is done, but George Ho should get a DYK credit for making an important fix. --Rosekelleher (talk) 17:33, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
