I'm hoping to make it up to Newburyport for one of the Powows soon, and thanks for letting us know about the Menashe/Slavitt reading.

Menashe's first two lines are a description of confinement: "Hones" sounds valuable for one's work, but I sense Menashe means there's an ambivalence to the disclosing, and an ambivalence to the niche.

Bones disclose, but who reads them except a seer? He's saying a good deal for these few words, but I wish there were more.
