Michael Baughan (michaelgraybaughan) | 18 comments The following titles lack my middle name for some reason, so they are listed incorrectly under the name of Michael Baughan (another, different author).

John Ashbery
Zimbabwe

Two other books I've written are listed under the wrong authors.

Rudyard Kipling is listed under Harold Bloom, but he is only the series editor, as with the Ashbery book above. See the following links for support.

Lastly, E. E. Cummings is also incorrectly attributed. No idea why it's listed under "Jenn Vogel" but I am the author.

As silly as this sounds, this is a bit convoluted to prove, as it seems Vogel's name was incorrectly disseminated to various outlets (she must have authored another of Bloom's guide, or been initially contracted to write the Cummings book and the info was never corrected) and Bloom's name is so often erroneously attached to these books as the "author". In any case, if you enter "cummings baughan bloom" into the Google Book search engine, it will bring up some scans of the book's actual pages. Scroll back to page 4 and you'll see my name under "contributing editor" which was equivalent to author in this series of books.

Thanks in advance to the librarian who can resolve these issues.

Sandi I have done all the changes that you have requested. You might want to contact amazon to have the E.E. Cummings book attributed to you along with Harold Bloom.
