The Dutch Resistance Heroine (A San Francisco Obituary Found Poem) Comments

I likethis a lot Bob. The title is great. The structure has a real romantic feel to it, suggesting a lot of thought and an understanding of combining formwith theme. I could well imagine this being read out and having an impact. The use of a poetic obituary is great and the theme fits very well. It is a way of impersonalising death and doing away with the pretence that it is something individual. If that were the case then why announce a death to the world. For me this poem makes that point well; I don't know if that was your intent but that is how I read it. A lovely (and impersonal) use of language that befits the piece.
