[stylist] Let's get busy

[Lynda Lambert]

Hi Eve,
We have sure missed you here on the writer's group! So glad you computer is 
back in action again.  I am doing a ton of reading - discoverd  a poet 
recently - received the Macauthor Award for Genius, so I'm not fantasizing, 
but Anne Carson is a major find for me recently.  I read one of her books, 
and now, I just have to get more of them so I can continue on the journey 
into her work. It is so exciting when you find an author who is challenging.

I have been super busy with art exhibitions - getting work done and off to 
the shows in several museums. I am thinking a lot of things i plan to write 
about, making myself some notes for when I can do that - it will be winter 
before I can get to it though. The mind is always turning and turning - and 
gathering material for those winter days when I can at last have some more 
time to do it.

I don't know what Barbara means but I often don't read everything that is 
posted. Vejas asked an important question and I highly applauded him for 
asking and for thinking about what is a Classic and why we still read things 
many times over the years.  Asking questions is part of the Socratic method 
of learning and one we use at the university in all our classes - we ask, 
and then we dig in and begin to search for answers. In the mean time, we 
find even more questions as we begin the search. Each search for meaning, 
brings more questions to be addressed. It is a great thing to ask.  It is a 
great thing when a very young high school student thinks about such things - 
and it is awesome when a piece of literature turns someone's world upside 
down.

Your Sestina is so elegant! I am going to spend time with it and write more 
about it later. Right now, my daughter arrived and we are going shopping 
this morning. Will get back to your poem and will respond more when I can 
get back to it. Thanks for posting something - I always enjoy the challenge 
of a good poem.
Lynda
