Thanks Jill,
I ask because as I read the works talked about by people here, I often find myself lost. Why has Roethke slipped away? Why do people so dislike Robert Bly? I tend to forget the poet and read the poem. To use a crass analogy, all sportspeople have an 'off' day. Some perform consistently, some in sporadic brilliance, some in an arc of sustained brilliance. It's all the same game though.
Cal.

Hi Caleb,
I was getting at the kinds of poems that use big, sometimes
lazy/obvious images,
often as a grounding metaphor for the poem. A few years ago there
seemed to be a
lot of sequences in Australian that worked like that. I just didn't
believe them
in the way I was being asked to by the poem. And it all seemed overblown.
BTW, I know that in this respect, I'm using 'Deep Image' a bit
inaccurately but
in the way it is used a bit inaccurately around here, in my experience.
I don't have problems with images, as would be obvious. I work a lot
with visual
artists as well. And I'm no stranger to sequences.
Cheers,
Jill
