Hi Barry,
That's interesting about your email's version of what I sent. I'm operating from
a webmail system at the moment and it does not show up.
I should ask what you did imagine before I go into details, but I will say that
the title 'Eight Lines' is also the title of a piece by Steve Reich, that I was
listening to at the time. And the phrase 'repeat and change' was the source of
the text generation.
Cheers,
Jill
P.S. By the way, all my poetryetc friends, I have been much preoccupied with
multitudinous 'stuff' over the last couple of months and, though I see
discussions, snaps and other material sweep through my in-box, I have not been
able to enter into the stream. This snap is the first 'anything' - minimal as it
is - I have written, apart from admin or student-based necessities, for ages.
(Now I have a lecture on Ashbery to prepare.) Even emails have been all
business-related. I hope for a freeing up soon, so I can join in the exchange again.
