new issuance of xStream Wryting Issue. I think I've said before that the point isn't so much individual works, but the sense of the whole. it is but isn't really a digest of the Wrytings list. I scanned thru the whole thing looking at the poetry field exhibited. words all over the screen, the letters and punctuation marks as much visual cues as verbal. and I keep thinking I ought to ruffle my own feathers, agitate the field in which I work (successful merging of metaphors). not that I am disappointed in the work of mine I see there, Jukka selected poems I am pleased with. I worry that I am not questioning enough. am I intense and intent enough as an artist? oh, probably not.
