ALT1: ... that Irish poet and publisher Peter Fallon (pictured) co-edited a
beat poetry magazine in
Dublin in 1970 which carried work by
John Lennon and
Allen Ginsberg? Source: "Peter Fallon: A Poet, Publisher, Editor and Translator", Irish Academic Press, County Kildare, Ireland, 2014, editor: Richard Rankin Russell
Article: New enough (Created May 10, self-nominated May 16); long enough; style is neutral. Earwig gives 24.8% but the overlapping sentences are properly cited and put in quotation marks.
Hook: I personally am not a fan of the first hook (there are other prolific poets who are out there). ALT1 is good. I'd like to propose one more hook:
Status: Please let me know what you think about the hook. Please also complete the QPQ. Otherwise, I am happy to pass this article for DYK! --

Hi,
TheLonelyPather, and many thanks for a prompt and careful review. I'd be happy to support ALT2, and I like your point re. two key names who appeared (Lennon sent a drawing from the Amsterdam Bed-In for Peace, Ginsberg a couple of poems) amazing what a small publication could do. On ALT0, I see your point (the remarkable thing is that this individual, while writing and farming, has edited and/or published the majority of all books of poetry in Ireland over the last few decades, a minority area but still quite the achievement) ... and, you know, if it's really compact, a mention can fit within the character limit - I counted and offer ALT2a. QPQ is now attached (my first try turned out to have issues).

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback on the hook. I italicized Georgics because it is the name of a book. Oh well, I think being a couple characters above the limit really won't be the end of the world... Great work! --
