The Kate Lilley reading was super excellent fun.

I confess that I assigned the Susan Howe book because I am fascinated with it and yet can't figure it out yet either. And I thought maybe if we read it together, maybe we could figure something more out about it.

How would we do that? I am wondering if we could all trace our lines of connection through the book. Which is sort of what Meg and Jessea did. My copy is in my office but I will try and do this in the next day or so.

There is a review by John Palatella where he argues that it is "all about her mother" here.

Padcha, is the Howe book a philosophical poem?
