[stylist] revising, form, and copyright

[Ashley Bramlett]

Lynda,
I often revise old work too; so what is true for poems is true for other 
writing.
I often come back with new insight a year later for a piece and more 
maturity too.
My pieces are based on personal experience, so I suppose its creative non 
fiction.

Have spent most of the day working on two poems that were published in 2000.
A poem is never really fininshed, really.
Since we were talking about Sestina's I went back to two of them today, 
after a 12 year absence from them.

One is a true sestina, the other is a sestina-influenced poem.  I will 
attach the sestina here.

William Carlos Williams has been my hero since undergraduate school and I 
did major work on him in grad school. He is the inspiration behind this 
sestina, and I think it is very humorous that I would write a Sestina as the 
venicle of the poem as he would not at all have embraced that thought. Not 
for a moment!

another tip:  when you revise the poem that was published previously, be 
sure to note that in your copyright line. In this case, 2000 and 2012 for 
this poem.
