Hasty corrective to Philip. It wasn't I who read Cally's poem based on personal speculation. You will see if you re-read my note that it was the poem itself I loved from the get-go. I was remarking that others had read it in speculative terms. What I am growing to love about Cally's poetry is a force of personality and persona that, coupled with charged and ecstatic language, lifts the work into a rare vitality. I want vitality in art, not correctness of any sort. I love the sass of it.
Cheers,
Dave
