The Simple Curvature of Words William Flewelling

My poems help me see what is in front of me. They typically find an image presented to me, a line of words appearing - a first line, in fact, and then begin to cause the lines to emerge until they are done. These have been stored - originally in hard copy form, more recently in electronic form. Out of those files, revisiting them in words read and images re-formed - either something akin to the original spawning image, or something created anew in my rereading - the selection is serially made to answer the insights revisited, regained and place them within the context of this manuscript. It is a pleasure to revisit those words, re-see the context and now to share the results of my delight with you.
