NOTES [49 words]: The poems cited here are not one piece, but I've lumped them because there are so many of them, none traditional. These pieces are to be strongly distinguished from The Greenland Disaster (I) and (II), which *are* traditional.
For background, see the notes to "The Greenland Disaster (I)." - RBW
