When you previously posted the poem, I was reminded of the explorations of Barry Lopez. Now, reading your process, I see why. I have a faint memory of Barry describing a painting of a figure on a horse, a man looking back with longing but knowing he had to leave on his mission. I imagine Barry feeling that way when he would leave his family for extended explorations.
I appreciate your process and your poetry. What a solid presentation format for your readers.
Brian, so well done!
