Hey Ray-

Thanks for the comments.

Yes. "jaybird" it is. I try to avoid mistakes like that.

I am familiar with Hass, and I would be interested in the book you mention. Thanks! (I almost thought I remembered hearing him read at the Catbird Seat event in the very late '90's, held at the Library of Congress, but that would've been after he died. So I must have him confused with another favorite- Stanley Kunitz).

I mess around with a variety of syllabics, and one might say I'm even hung up on 'em.

Working 5-7-5, though mostly abandoned, represents a challenge for me, which is why I mess with it at all.

Thanks again,
... Mark
