However I take Kaspar's point about looking outward for the small stones.<br /><br />Darlings, I am not at this point joining the forum. Although it's enticing, I can hardly keep up wih all my networking as it is. It's a wonderful idea all the same.

Well I'll let you take that ...Thanks Rosemary,<br /><br />Well I'll let you take that up with Feaver ;) <br /><br />I was applying her wisdom to the sheaf of small stones (a sheaf of stones? They were printed on paper...) rather than to the whole world of poetry.<br /><br />Which doesn't mean it's a 'rule' (if there is such a thing) that one shouldn't appear in a stone, but part of this practice is about connecting with the world, with others in the world. So I'd certainly encourage one to be looking into the world as the first step, rather than to ones own opinion of the world...Kaspa Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018022928777657419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075102395346447580.post-57925564193809570322011-02-09T11:57:34.978+00:002011-02-09T11:57:34.978+00:00Yes, the cover's gorgeous.
'In a good poe...Yes, the cover's gorgeous.<br /><br />'In a good poem the poet disappears.' Where does this leave Plath, Sexton, Lowell and other confessional poets? Surely they demonstrate that it is possible to be present in one's own poetry without jeopardising mystery.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075102395346447580.post-71503180226450026792011-02-09T11:26:50.376+00:002011-02-09T11:26:50.376+00:00Thanks Jem, will add your stones to the stack here...Thanks Jem, will add your stones to the stack here next to me :)Kaspa Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018022928777657419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075102395346447580.post-44149358072312233652011-02-09T11:25:49.504+00:002011-02-09T11:25:49.504+00:00Some great points in this post - neatly reminding ...Some great points in this post - neatly reminding me what I like about good writing and therefore what I should aim for in my own.
