Less a question than a comment. Enjoyed your little essay here, at least I am assuming the author is you: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/learning/article/178772#article Have referred to it on a couple of GR boards? You are the first author I have encountered who has done this sort of GR conversation with readers. Neat. I'll look for others now. Love your adopted state (VT). Lived there for awhile myself.
