Yes, that's possible, but I don't think we'll see a second volume. I think he took a lot of raw notes for the first volume, expecting to convert them into his own sentences, but then just left them as they were, without attribution. Who knows why? Maybe, to quote William Logan's judgement of Robert Lowell, "He had the arrogance of a writer who carelessly seized whatever he needed." For a cut-and-paste job, it was very well done. Seamless.
