Don't be afraid.'" — Frederick Buechner Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:47:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: mbjesq http://willhumes.net/2007/04/20/reflections-on-the-red-wheel-barrow/#comment-247 Wed, 17 Oct 2007 05:13:09 +0000 http://s37651.gridserver.com/?p=647#comment-247 Thanks for the kind comment on my notes about this poem, as they appeared on the blog po-i-tre.

So many of the commentators fixate on the “imagist” aspect of the poem, without unlocking the magic created by the tension between the opening line and the rest of the poem. For me, The Red Wheelbarrow has always been as much a meta-poem (a work about the dynamics of poetic application of language) as a poem itself.
