Not Always Rhythm. Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

This is a comment on your handling of your material. It suggests, actually assets directly, you're willing to sacrifice surface polish for emotional depth. In fact, it's emotional truth that you cite as your primary goal. It reminds me of certain singers in lieder and chanson who could sing everything beautifully, smoothly, perfectly but they periodically distort their voices to create insight, character, meaning. Expressiveness is the goal, not just beautiful sounds. Just as for your poetry meaning is the goal, not just beautiful language.
