Poet as namer. Ceravolo is doing his Genesis thing here and he uses the language like a man naming things for the first time. <BR/><BR/>I Anthony Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15344532091414013818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412995.post-1124065712714901352005-08-14T17:28:00.000-07:002005-08-14T17:28:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412995.post-1124064518475057172005-08-14T17:08:00.000-07:002005-08-14T17:08:00.000-07:00Nice engagement--are these some of the themes your...Nice engagement--are these some of the themes your dissertating on?<BR/><BR/>"I am a white/man and my children/are hungry/which is like paradise", as a statement, is a pretty neat argument against "paradise cannot be legislated", don't you think?Stuart Greenhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01252575029228605034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412995.post-1124064036009743752005-08-14T17:00:00.000-07:002005-08-14T17:00:00.000-07:00Nicely done.
