This task requires the arts and language, she felt. Your paper is similarly persuasive and prompted me to revisit Jorie Graham's website to see whether I could find evidence of her views. I am delighted to say that her vision is expressed in a published interview which you might be interested in reading, Grevel. http://joriegraham.com/interview_wengen I am grateful to both of you for provoking discussion.

It's given me a lot to think about, I'm sure I won't get to sleep now tonight. I wasn’t able to get to StAnza so thank you so much for publishing this online.
