well, i can report that it is no april fool's joke that i have completed - to first finished draft stage - three 'exegesis' poems and have worked on compiling some of the other finished/drafts i might consider, coming up in the process with a better working title, to reflect the likely makeup of the volume now i have considered the notion some more.
'exegesis: excursions into stuff' will comprise three now, not two, parts, being exegesis, excursions (thos actually written or commenced o/s) and other stuff as it may be. and i have decided i will not go too far back and salvage unused stuff from more than about six months before i went away.
i have had a few days off work and have writen, or thought, between bouts of sleeping and generally feeling lethargic - a tragic condition for a writer already prone to prevaricate and procrastinate - but had coffee in the canberra autumn sun yesterday with a friend/editor and she liked the gathering of this new whole and has spurred me on.
actually better get out of the guide and back into my own universe for a while. if i ever work out how to post entries and attach files or whatever i might make some available. whatever....
