The sixth of ten notebooks, drafted between June 2007 and June 2008. Some of the material has appeared previously in poetry collections I have published since 2006, but I have gone back to the original drafts to rethink and reconfigure what appears here. Many of the poems in part two are included in a dim sum of the day before, published by Ink Brush Press in 2010. In many cases, the poems in that collection were woven from shorter poems that stand on their own here. I hope seeing them in their original form in the order in which they were composed may shed some light on the earlier publication.
