I've been researching online his backstory after becoming a little confused by some mixed messages I felt that I was getting about him as I was reading MD.<br />I think that mixed messages could have been his motto!!Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-29058954591886737222019-08-18T10:36:03.765+10:002019-08-18T10:36:03.765+10:00Dark.Dark.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-4126830215255856592019-08-16T14:01:36.681+10:002019-08-16T14:01:36.681+10:00Very dark, but I love the sound of this.

Have been digging into his backstory online and think that I will need to hunt down a good bio or two to find out more. His life seems so open to interpretation and re-interpretation - a process I find endlessly fascinating - how people and historic events get re-examined, reclaimed and reinterpreted by different times and different groups.Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-44924656053662714212019-08-16T04:37:04.499+10:002019-08-16T04:37:04.499+10:00Interesting notes about his poetry.

I am enjoying following your Tweeting and blogging about the readathon!BookTapestryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13808126395322513413noreply@blogger.com
