I agree with Nyctom. Revising is the most important part of writing a poem. I'm interested in what Richard Wilbur has to say about this - how he does it; how long it usually takes him to revise a poem; and when he knows he's done.
I'd also be interested in who has influenced his thinking over the years - any particular religious thinkers, their books.
Safe journey down to the Keys, Tim and Alan. And enjoy your visit with the master.
