Stephen - I was going to comment b/c, because we have been 'talking'
of walks b/c, but why? I want to know how long it took you to write
those poems 'on the hoof'? And were they written in response to the
sensory data at the time or in response to those great photographs? Or
both?
Your sheer inventiveness is dazzling. Not only what you write, but
your imaginative eye - from political to personal, empathetic
extension to literary allusion, you're open to all impulses ... It
must be all the walking that keeps you open to 'the winds of change',
makes you able to pin down the impulse of the moment in specific
images like that.
Good stuff - Thanks for drawing our attention to it.
