Thanks for the post, Skippy. It makes me feel good to know that one can teach and not become a creative black hole in the process. I would love to read the poem in question , since that's such a sad and wonderful image. There's something about the idea of knowledge and creativity cast aside, recycled, and started anew the next year that really appeals to me. Enough of my prattling, I'll let you get back to your cynicism.
