Thank you. I like the book more now that you've given me some ideas about
the author's method. I love loose ends. And tripping through books,
stippling moles on red roses, brown paper magazines, bones, hearts, and
rags...intentional improvisations are some of my favorite things.
Plan on spontaneity and serendipity sometimes surprises you. Sometimes, as
we read in The Monk's Tale, the form tragical is fortuitous and
magical...and though he holds a wicked deck of them, what he unbuckles is
but one that won't keep in Aristotle's saddle.
