No, I didn't know. I just pinged you because your poetry moves me and reminds me a bit of Eliot.
That's why! He's been very, very influential in how I think about poetry. I fell in love with his stuff when I was a teen, and I know it has influenced the way I play with words. How very perceptive of you to pick up on it. Or better yet, how happy I am that it shows at least a little!
And I thank you for thinking of me. That poem is going into my "favorite by Elliot list."
