| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 12/08/06 at 04:35 PM Fascinating integration-- and so it is. I feel strongly this image, and the poet-artist, most sensitive to the lack of ditinction, quite the way of poetry, that we reveal this to ourselves, and in so doing reveal ourselves to ourselves, as part of this integrated disintegration. This poem seems to come from a moment of really looking--when you saw what was there--in the mirror, the context as well as what is usually simply picked out and looked at. It is a hard thing to express, even given this "enlightenment moment" and I recognize it here--in your fine verse! |
