Saw 1925 poem, interpreted it as 1925 death. Went Dickinson, which is 40 years off anyway.

Might have gotten it if I'd interpreted "another" as "another epitaph" instead of "another poem". I've heard of "Pardon my dust" before.

Hope the Apollo guy is not watching today. He would have buzzed in. :roll:

Six clues not played as the board bouncing, high TS count, negs and politeness are too much to get to all the clues.

Maureen closed well to get the lead on DJ26 and completed the comeback with the sole solve of the FJ! clue.

I'll put the FJ! clue at 25% at as I did not process it well at all. Just because someone wrote in 1925 does not mean the person died in 1925. :oops: That instantly steered me away from the right person. Next, I dismissed who Sallie wrote in in figuring that was too much to write as the last name short cut did not seem like one for the FJ! round.

Still stuck on 1925 being the death year I dismissed Shelley's guess in knowing she died later.

Who to write. EBB was earlier for sure. That left me with only Dickinson to write to have something even though I was all but certain she was 1800s.

It's not that I forgot about the category, but it's more that I let 1925 focus my thinking. The dots were there to connect in the clue while I did not do well to follow the basic path.

The previous clues :
Spoiler

#7454, aired 2017-01-26 QUOTATIONS $1200: Dorothy Parker suggested as her own epitaph "Excuse my" this
#5191, aired 2007-03-19 WRITERS AT REST $2000: Her epitaph "Excuse My Dust" is famous; fewer know that it's on a plaque at NAACP HQ, where her ashes are buried
#4609, aired 2004-09-23 THIS WAY TO THE EGRESS $800: This Algonquin wit suggested "Excuse My Dust" as her own epitaph
#4081, aired 2002-05-06 WRY $1000: The epitaph she suggested for herself: "Excuse my dust"
#677, aired 1987-07-14 QUOTES $300: Algonquin wit, she suggested for her epitaph, "Excuse my dust"
are there while I managed to not think about them with a different reworking of the facts. My bad.

As soon as the category was revealed, my first thought was “excuse my dust”.

I hope Maureen didn't get kicked out of uni because she was rude.

Aldrin TS reminded me of Tom Hanks TS a few months ago. At that time it was a issue with display (as I remember). There is no excuse today.

FJ no bueno.

That was my best guess, too, having made the same error you did. Couldn't think of who to link "dust" to

Add me to the Dickinson group.

I got Buzz, but the bit about it being two decades after the Korean War at first had me thinking later than 1969.

I knew Dickinson was wrong, but couldn’t come up with anyone else. Had no idea Parker was a poet and never would have thought of her. Thought the clue a bit unfair anyway with the date reference, since she died much much later.

Thought it was too early for Plath -- and it was -- but had nothing else.

Add me to those who guessed Dickinson.

Lots of TS today. I answered several of them.

I went with Woolf given the time frame. I figured that person in question was not primarily a poet. Without knowing the dust reference this is a hard get. I thought that the clue was referring to a book with dust in the title, and drew a blank.
