Longing & Absence

Since I Continually Revise All My Attempts At Crafting Poems I Decided To Try The Experiment Of Recording All Of My Revisions Of Each Poem In A Limited Series As I Wrote Them Down Day To Day Until I Came To A Point Where I Fund Myself With A Version I Either Could Live With Or Couldnt. The Final Versions Of The Sixteen Poems I Found Acceptable Begin This Collection. Appended Are Selections Of Interim And Discarded Versions Of Eleven Of These Poems Together With A Repetition Of The Final Version Up To Now. Although A Labor Of Love Never Adds To The Value Or Importance Of Its Product Which Must Stand On Its Own Feet It Nonetheless Owns The Glory Of Its Passion.
