Thank you Poorvi for your (very late night) feedback.

The problem I realised now is that the placement of the verses on the page has been destoryed because of the lack of formatting in plain text!

While I generally don't do fancy stuff with how lines appear on a page, mainly because I think poetry is vocal than visual, those lines were written to be somewhat visual as well. Perhaps I will try to do something about the formatting later!

As an aside (or gossip) today I ate lunch with a poet(Thomas Lux) with whom I am friends, and we talked about Ms Vizrani and her sucide/murder. She along with Komunyakaa were slated to come to Emory University, whose portals I occasionaly haunt, to teach poetry this fall. However it appears that this not going to happen. So in a perhaps more personal(or selfish?) level, I would miss meeting these two poets down in Georgia.

Joy! Sashi
