Hi Stephen, You may be right - though I was not conscious of that meta-condition, though true it is. I've been hither and thither myself recently, physically and otherwise, for all sorts of reasons, not sinister, just the way it is. I may be/am reacting to my own feeling of the weathers of Australian poetry by allowing myself increased breaches and cacophany, rather than smooth sailing. Of course, that is definitely a yours truly thing. My own syntax of making. Cheers, Jill __________________________ Jill Jones [log in to unmask] website: www.jilljones.com.au blog: rubystreet.blogspot.com On 18/02/2011, at 12:46 PM, Stephen Vincent wrote: > Jill, for some probably only yours truly reason, I began to think of > your > prosody as a kind of organized dis-assembling, that is seeing it > asbecoming to > represent, or be the syntax for current upheavals Australian > cartography! > Between cyclones and floods - presented to us frequently in TV in > the USA - the > landscapes and towns are a visual cacophony of multiple breaches, > collisions, > etc. It only fits that poetry - the words - as such wd follow, no?? > > Similary, One wonders what is happening to syntax through out the > Mideast, too! > I like what you have done with your own. > > Stephen V > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Jill Jones <[log in to unmask]> > To: [log in to unmask] > Sent: Thu, February 17, 2011 3:03:12 PM > Subject: Re: snap - reformed > > Hi Doug, > > Thanks.
