It's interesting that Looms had a profound social impact on your country. In much of my work I try to capture the relevance of Looms to the modern world, and in a way, this poeme isn't so much about an actual Loom, as it is about the Loom that's inside all of us. It's the Loom of our hopes, our fears, our desires. At times, it is a terrible, wretched Loom. But it is not without passages of textile beauty. And ultimately, the impression is that of the dignity of the human spirit when pitted against impossible odds. I thank you for your -8-.
