Jehanne, thanks for those points. I'm especially struck by the observation about graduate student screeners--and regretting that I didn't think sooner about endnotes.
Bill, every time I think I'm sure enough about what I intend to even consider writing an ars poetica, I'm overcome with the dreadful suspicion that I really should be doing everything differently. And the poems seem to be writing me, rather than the other way around, so often that I wonder whether I can really claim to have an intention. It's a subject that probably deserves its own thread.
