4 Quick Notes


2007 039 02 2 4

I saw two juncos out in the yard space on this building's 
north side this morning.  Several days ago there was a
small flock of them out there.  I do not recall having ever
seen juncos before.  According to a book about Missouri
birds which I got from a Springfield library, there are 4(?)
varieties of juncos in this state.  They are winter birds
here.  My guess is what I saw were the slate-colored 
type.

Have decided to quit using the Flow Break designation.

Due to an email from a relative regarding a gifted young
girl from Sandpoint, Idaho, and due to an impasse with
the link provided in that email, I got into a Google search
which led me to a site with 61 comments on it centering
on this artist.  I read nearly all of what was there, and 
because there may yet be an opportunity for me to place
a comment of my own on that page, I've bookmarked it.
Much of the what was said dealt with the God/no God
issue and the numerous ramifications of that.  I am letting
my brain wrestle with that and with the eventual structure
of my response, if I share one.

Have been daily reading poems online at various sites.
Have also been reading--as I am moved to--poems and
other information in 3 library books: the 1982 The
Postmoderns: The New American Poetry Revised and
the third edtion of the two volume The Norton Anthology
of Modern and Contemporary Poetry.  Years ago I owned
copies of The New American Poetry and The Princeton
Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics but I must have  
given them away.
