I liked the echoes in your poem. What I was saying to Karlien the other week was that in writing about the Self a distance is necessary or the project collapses into self-pity. It is necessary to write through a persona who is and who isnt oneself but is divorced from the living everyday person. It is the persona of Frank O'Hara that seems so alive to me today. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
