I've been reading Jesse Seldess. I keep going back over the reading trying to attach order to it. Occasionally an image starts to form of someone trying to do something. When the word "refuse" is used, is he referring to the act of refusing, or garbage refuse. It's interesting how the image changes when a new connotation is applied.
So far, I like Dolores Dorantes the best. Her poetry flows so nicely. I really like reading the Spanish versions. Even though I don't understand all of the words, I get into the rhythm and the beauty of the words. She uses hands in many of her poems, maybe signifying the potential of what the hands can do: hold, stop, hurt, expand, trust, pray, healing, reach, etc. Water is also a theme. I like the poem on page 67.
These are not really well planned discussion points. Maybe after hearing the artists tomorrow, I will have a better feel for their poetry.

I'm also interested in your response not just to the individual poets and poems, but to the culture of small press publishing and community of experimental writing as you get a sense of it from the Kenning people.
