Gerry, this poem, and the one below it, began last year, after 5 years away from writing. Revised them both. Curious to see how they'll look a year from now.
I think I must be becoming a fan. Your poems build images quickly and easily in my mind - there are relational things behind your words that connect, across vast complex spaces of thought and culture. A good poet is like an island: small, unique, atop vast amounts of rock you cannot see. This stuff works, and for real. I am pleased to strive alongside and am instructed greatly by your work; you are helping me lose some of my poet's arrogance, too, by being so awfully good at what we do. Thanks (as always) for sharing your work online - it's a big service. PG
