love it, Nemo!

I also quite like this e-zine. Great poetry and interviews!

Nemo,

love the opening--and the rest too.

Real nice!

Salute this gentler evolution you have spoken out so well.

[R. Nemo Hill]

Thanks, all. Ironically enough, my obstinate critical defense of this poem (many years ago) was the cause of the first poetic food-fight I ever had here on the Sphere. So take heart ye stand-your-grounders, time heals all wounds, and poems can emerge unscathed from time to time--strengthened by several rounds in the ring.

I am told by the folks at Kin that my audio of the poem will be up sometime in the near future. Stay tuned.

A beautiful poem, Nemo. I like it a lot. Congrats!

[Richard Meyer]

Well done, Nemo. Swept away.

Richard

[Jean L. Kreiling]

Very well done, Nemo, and thanks for the encouraging words to stand-your-grounders. (The trick, of course, is knowing when, exactly, to stand your ground!)

Best,
Jean

[R. Nemo Hill]

Thanks, Martin, Richard, Jean.

Yes, Jean, the trick is knowing if there is 'ground' to stand on at all...and there's no rule of thumb for that, since one man's ground is another's thin air. Poetry is not a science--but then again, maybe science isn't a science either.
