Thanks everyone, & sure, Andrew, please do.
I was about to answer you when a lighting & thunder storm hit & knocked our electricity out (including the wifi). Now it’s getting lighter again, & so I can enjoy all the comments on all the poems, again…

Recent publications: (With Sheila E Murphy) Continuations & Continuation 2 (UofAPress).
Recording Dates (Rubicon Press).
Done in by creation itself.
I mean the gods. Not us. Well us too.
The gods moved into books. Who wrote the books?
We wrote the books. In whose dream, then are we dreaming?
Robert Kroetsch.
