As one of those involved in yesterday's exchange I'd like to establish
that there was no intent to be malicious nor reductive. I welcome all
forms of poetry and any comments on it or language generally is of
interest. I have no interest in "rights" and wrongs". Regarding
the regular and the lurker, I find myself reading and answering "within
myself" many more postings than I directly reply to through the list. I
enjoy witnessing the discussion as much as being involved. The comments re
the quote from Bonnefoy were intended to be light-hearted. Tone is always
a
problem on a list, but the "irony" comment was meant to stress this
not continue an attack. Anyway, the upshot of this posting is to let those
offended know that I extend my sincere apologies.
Best
John K
