Bravo Ren. I really enjoyed this one. I also love that you include notes. I did this with my collection.

Thank you! I also like notes, it is difficult to know what to do with specialized information without the poem becoming pedantic. I was lucky enough to study with Albert Goldbarth years ago - and notes would have saved me a lot of encyclopedia work.

I think you struck the right balance here. You offer signposts I think, enough to point a reader in the right direction and let them do some work.

I am hoping that I will feel like writing again. I have 2 months of chemo left. And then about 6 months of rehab.

I hope you will feel good again after the chemo. I hope it isn't the "red devil". Will you be in a residential rehab? (If it is okay for me to ask)

Yes it is. It should be 120. It always makes the nurses worry. But Ingenerally don't feel faint until it drops under 70. I am on the downhill run now hoping that the treatment has bought me some time, and that Ill be able to enjoy life a little.
