So it's very nice to get your feedback.<br /><br />I jot down notes every day, while I'm at work, or reading, which later go into the poem-episodes... I don't really have a system, just a bunch of methods that have become habits, 2nd nature... I've noticed that the "personae" have sort of faded out in the 2nd volume... the poem is really the result of my pondering & pondering a few things that seem like deep metaphysical puzzles to me... Isaiah Berlin said that famous thing about people being either foxes or hedgehogs - foxes knowing many many things, the hedgehogs knowing one thing really well.... I think I must have hedgehog tendencies - my initials are HHG after all...Henry Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06763188178644726622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966360.post-14486408424834109562011-08-13T06:56:40.590-04:002011-08-13T06:56:40.590-04:00Henry,
