Kate - I'm so glad you posted this - I love these poems. It seems like there are millions of poets - perhaps we can forgive ourselves for not knowing all of them. Hazo, thanks to you, is now one of my favorites.
Michael Slipp - Your post here is one of the most interesting I've seen at the sphere. If it's ok with you, I will curl up and listen to you teach for the next few hours. "....the model's astonishing variability...." this is how I feel about IP and why my substitutions are few and far between. Not that I'll always write that way, and most likely I'm also gravely confused, but for now, I'm always astonished by the variability - light feet, speed, velocity (beautifully put!) - I find in writing strict IP. If I've misunderstood what you've said, please let me know. Thanks.
Best
Mary
