Ed, I often think I will never write a better poem than'Little' I often think. Still, one keeps trying.
Gregory, what can I say? So sensitive to what I try to do. And so agreeably LONG. Why should I care that I don't get reviewed in the UK, when Italy, Australia and the uS of A do me so proud. Oh, and I've started talking to myself as I go out walking. Of course it doesn't stand out. Everybody is talking to the air. But they have mobile phones. I used to talk to myself when I was young, before I started the poetry lark.
I had forgotten about the alphabetical order, Bill. That was to facilitate finding the bloody things at a reading. You will note that 'Little' is not in alphabetical order because I so much wanted it to be the LAST poem.
