Milner,

I'm glad you noticed the Miloscz quote. It seems true to
me. I always thought that there was some ultimate truth
in the fact that Joyce was a singer with a beautiful voice
to say "yes, and again, yes."

                                       Ken

Nicely put.  :)

dear Milner

it was a unique pleasure this morning
to find your Hell on the front page
as i was enjoying here in The Netherlands
a dark rye bread along with
a well known "Milner Cheese".

and wanted also to bring up again my earlier comment of
how i enjoyed the reference to Rochdale in your poem.

So here a quip from Wikipedia

The Rochdale Principles are a set of ideals for the operation of cooperatives. They were first set out by the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers in Rochdale, England, in 1844, and have formed the basis for the principles on which co-operatives around the world operate to this day. The implications of the Rochdale Principles are a focus of study in co-operative economics. The original Rochdale Principles were officially adopted by the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA) in 1937 as the Rochdale Principles of Co-operation.

Thanks again, Ken. I do take sound to be such an important element in distinguishing poetry from prose (not a very original thought).

Yes, Jay, I must concur (I would, wouldn't I?)

Thanks SL, even though born and living on the other side of the Pennines, I must bend the knee, with whatever grace I can muster, to Rochdale and its cooperative movement.

Cheers

I missed commenting when this was on Front Page...
please accept belated congratulations

Now my belated response, Stella. Thank you from where this presently sits in retirement, in the archives; not to gather dust, I hope. An honourable depository, noble interment.

Cheers

Generous as ever, SL. I think David Wharton did a great job with this. And I didn't even know he was doing it until I first saw it!!

Thanks

Thanks, SL. Ever happy to have something there, and they make such an effort to present your poems well - usually with some illustration.
