   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that is), is simply incorrect.

   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> My previous post explains why:   
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>   
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "In fact, Karla's oft-quoted adage aside, one can *never*   
   fully separate   
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the two.   
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> For instance, all of the characters in any author's fictional   
   novel are   
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> going to represent some aspect of the author.  Every poem   
   stems from its   
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> author's imagination... regardless of what external persons   
   and/or   
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> events might have inspired it.  Every literary work is   
   similar to a   
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dream construct in that regard; and like a dream construct,   
   can be   
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> analyzed by a psychologist, a literary critic, or even the   
   average   
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> reader.  Since "My Father's House" was based to a large   
   extent on your   
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> own childhood experiences, it literally begs for a   
   psychoanalytical   
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> reading."

   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You dispute the wisdom of the mighty Karla Rogers?

   >>>>>>   
   >>>>>> You've made very few attempts to discuss anyone's poetry over the years   
   >>>>>

   I don't open 99% of your necrobumped threads, Donkey.   
      
   Instead of bumping it, just post a link in this thread.
