Oh, And...

...another wonderful review from xterminal, who finally received my books of poetry and posted his thoughts on Dust Radio first, here (http://xterminal.livejournal.com/674055.html#dust). If I have any caveat, it'd be that I (obviously) don't think mixing free and formal verse is a weakness per se, but that's pretty tiny--thanks so much, man. Stuff like this makes getting out of bed in the morning worth it.;)

I guess my primary drawback in this conversation would have primarily to do with a lack of classical education in poetic forms and tropes. Luckily, my mother-in-law--who also likes my poetry, and thinks I should write more--gave me books on the subject for Christmas, which I'll hopefully be getting around to any day now. Then maybe I can do some experimentation, and come up with a slightly less "let's agree to disagree!"-type response.

Primarily, primary, primariness. My other drawback would, of course, be repetition.;)
