I am not sure that the logic here holds up. If this statement is true, then
the board is open for every sort of discussion. I think there are other
places for that. The thinking out should appear in the poem because if you
do your thinking out in a discussion the poem will quite likely never be
written since you will lose the tension required to carry out the work.
Again, I ask: can we stick to poetry? Sue
