    Peter and Gretchen - thank you inexpressibly. That is one aim a poem aspires to - I would think - ineffability. I see so many inward and internally conceived structures - echoes - reflexes - allusions rich and varied. I’d love to enjoy sporting myself at writing about it further. Since I have all your books of poetry (and prose) --- would you (or Gretchen) please let me know in which book(s) this poem appear(s) ? David Glass
