a fantastic collection of inventories. thank you! I look forward to these collected poems every time. Perhaps it is a trade secret, but would you be willing to share how you collect these poems? do you just remember them after reading, or keep an inventory index in an notebook, or copies on your computer, or scrapbook or filing cabinet or something else? How do you sort through the vast range of poetry you read to find just the right fit, and how long does it usually take to collect a set--in other words, do you go hunting on a theme or do you slowly accumulate until one emerges?
