I thought, BTW that the poem was very strong at the outset. What really impressed me about this poem and this thread was how strongly the task of revision was addressed. nothing was off the table, the author addressed areas of weakness in his own way and made them areas of strength. I think anyone who reads the poem and loves it should read the thread as well to see just the metamorphosis. i particularly liked the switch to the non-standard stanza breaks - it was both a surprise and a delight.
