Yes, Tim, rope her. Good idea.

HOMEPLACE is about Nelson's family, her forebears. I don't find that excursion "bloodless," Alan. You and Tim are playing ad hominem games: go for the juggler, the poetry. I think Alicia defended Nelson's diction quite accurately. I like the turns in Chopin. Why not run up a formal poem where you think she's clanging.
