I wrote this many years ago. : I wrote this many years ago.  Found it as I was going thru an old spiral notebook.  I believe I was talking about the social consequences one faces when staying above the fray and true to one's own self.  It can be lonely at times.

Setting up camp with broken: Setting up camp with broken souls . . .  I have been reading poems for nearly half a century---it will be fifty years as of next month---and that phrase is one of the most brilliant I have encountered in a long, long time.  The poem itself is very good, and applaud the way it concludes with a metaphor about art.  But that eleventh line---that spectacular, tremendous eleventh line---is a power unto itself.

I am convinced with the: I am convinced with the utmost expectation that your poems have a grand future, beyond this website.  And I like to comment on them because they are so inspiring to such comments.  In two or three generations, enterprising scholars and graduate students may overturn some of my conclusions; but, like Peary at the Pole, I will have gotten there before them.  Your poems validate all of my efforts as an undergrad to study and learn how to interpret poetry (even if that interpretation is subsequently overturned).  I did not then, back in the seventies, understood why I felt so compelled to study analyses of certain poems as thoroughly as I studied the poems themselves---but now I understand the reason for that.

I am so horribly behind on my: I am so horribly behind on my reading, having had a rough few days recently.  But I am glad to have caught up enough to read this magnificent poem, this beautiful testimony that simply sparkles and shimmers with great faith and wisdom.  Although I may not read all of your poems in a timely way, having to catch up when I can, I am certain that all of your poems will bear the kind of literary quality that so very well distinguishes you as a member of PostPoems.
