Comment is about Cynthia Buell Thomas (poet profile)

Original item by Cynthia Buell Thomas

Hey Natalie, thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it. I wanted to bring out the whole philosophical concept between doing things with your head and your heart. With regard to language, I've always loved the classical language as opposed to modern language, so i try to keep that gentle touch wherever i can. I think it brings out the effect better. Thanks anyways :)

Original item by STEVE RUDD

STEVE,
As someone who has recently been conferring with God (and the N.H.S.) about my prospective mortality I like the `stand to` feel of this.

I like particularly the disillusionment of stanza five and the word-play about desertion and its consequences.

The whole thing rings true about the essence of courage.

Thanks.

You've really succeeded in capturing the essence of this black hole the subject is in. The whole work feels suppressive and dense. Well done.
