Hi Karen,

I'm always thrilled to find fellow literature buffs at Suite101. I've recently begun to focus more attention in my spare time (whenever that may be...) on studying poetry, so I find your new site to be of particular interest. I enjoyed your first article, and I look forward to reading more--welcome!

Hi! I, too, am a great student of contemporary poetry, as well as art, and I wanted to say I loved your analysis. Also, it was a great poem to pick. Very spare, yet taut. I'm looking forward to your other articles.

Maddox's imagery is always powerful. I agree with your views on the images and their significance. I especially like your observations on the speaker's loneliness. I also like your ideas regarding the lack of punctuation in the poem.
