Thanks, Doug
I had always seen the whole series as one with several threads; but there
may be a case for separating out the threads, so that bar poems would be
one set. One would lose; one would gain. Certainly I am unlikely in the
extreme to get them all in one book.
I'm grateful to you for your observation, which is undoubtedly accurate,
regardless of how successful individual attempts are
