tonyv Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Phil, I know little about WCW's work, but I agree with Judi that this has the look and "feel." To me, it resounds of conflict between art/poetry, its creation, criticism of the same, and differing points of view among critics.

A. Baez Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I see! The only thing missing here is the reader who overburdens a poem with thought--I guess that would be me. 😮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
