I deeply appreciate your generous com...Dr. Rambsy,<br /><br />I deeply appreciate your generous comments. You are right to locate my current project within the movement among poets that use persona in their work. I am also intrigued by the way in which the forced brevity of the kwansaba form has assisted me in distilling certain emotions I was interested in discussing in verse. Lately, I have also been pondering closely Mrs. Hamer's battle with mental illness at the end of her life, and the way in which I can approach that illness using the form. Dr. Rambsy, I have found your critical eye/ear is very valuable. Thank you for your continued vigilance. <br /><br />Strength to your writing hand,<br /><br />TreasureTreasure Williamsnoreply@blogger.com
