Bishop and Lowell

What an interesting, and free, relationship they had...

Reading about them led me to Yaddo, (http://yaddo.org/yaddo/home.asp) a Saratoga Springs NY artists retreat that had housed and given refuse to a great number of writers, artists, etc. and to the idea of writing from the imagined perspective of your idea of a situation or perspective. This is hard to describe but it basically means you are more free to not explain your own viewpoint or paraphrase another, but to use your imagination to more freely express that perspective. I liken it to a thought experiment, like I like to imagine how reality is created and physical matter is formed.

I'd like to have more time to imagine things...and then construct a poem or short story.

I guess Bishop and Lowell were muses to each other as well. Quite lovely.
