COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Daniel Brick 23 September 2016

The format of this poem with its repetitions strikes ne as effort to convnce yourself of the validity of your poetic vision. There is a double assertion: first you assert the value of another poet's inspiring words that give you the necessary strength. This strikes me as a stoic assertion: you are not asking for sympathy but just understanding. Second, this poem is preparatory to writing a poem. It is a poem of readiness to write the neccaery poem still hiding out of your sifght.
