Thanks for the welcome, and it's good to be here -
Thanks also for the Paz pointer, Alison, it was unlooked at on my shelf and
I've now read it five times in different ways. I like it a lot - the
movement through colour, sense, element -
but
stony hearted I can't help resisting a certain romanticism there? (But then
I like resisting as part of reading)

I'm going through a particular phase of reading precisely these two poets.
Susan Howe's poems feel more like mazes in the sense of those labyrinths
laid out on cathedral floors as pilgrimage enactments...
Best,
Edmund
