exploratories
these are a series of attempts,
using all the resources of language at my command
to encompass enormities of various sorts
most are lyrical,
some satirical...but all, somehow, exceed the more prosaic
& intellectual tools that suffice - however imperfectly
-
in the essays
The division - of course - is artificial,
and would (rightly) have horrified Montaigne,
the great 16th century humanist who pioneered the essay
form
as "a picture of myself", informed by deep
learning and reflection.
