0127 A Poem About Gertrude Stein Comments

Nice commentary on Stein and her work even as you incorporate her devices to make the poem. Good work.

I confess I don't know who she is but I'm learning. This is a good flowing poem and I've used the scale approach too in a few things I wrote. It makes for a very nice effect, titillates, builds suspense, and in this case the revelation, the unraveling was worth it. Sincerement R.

This is nicely done, Michael, but even so, I personally have never been ready for Gertrude Stein. Even this sounds like parody...laughable. I compare this with 'The Sound of Cities' that you posted this morning and find Gertrude Stein to be an illusion. Raynette

Very nicely done. Stein was a giant in the Modernist movement. Very underappreciated.

Stein was a true Modernist, and probably a true genuis. But even in the Roaring Twenties, the world was still not ready for her.

'So that is poetry really loving the name of anything and that is not prose.' - Gertrude Stein.
