+art
+should
+strive

+as
+efficiently

+this
+multiple
+notation

+devised
+music
+is
+the
+most
+notable
+example
+that
+comes
+to
+mind
+as
+it
+has
+the
+most
+rigid
+style
+but
+grammar
+as
+used
+self-consciously
+in
+writing
+would
+be
+another
+example
+poetry
+has
+only
+a
+very
+loose
+set
+of
+rules
+and
+assumptions
+that
+allow
+it
+a
+sort
+of
+notational
+language
+and
+this
+is
+complicated
+by
+the
+fact
+that
+when
+writing
+poetry
+the
+author
+writes
+for
+a
+different
+medium
+poetry
+is
+meant
+to
+be
+performed
+aloud
+this
+makes
+the
+notation
+system
+even
+more
+important
+but
+again
+it's
+hard
+to
+come
+up
+with
+a
+system
+that
+will
+be
+read
+mostly
+the
+same
+by
+most
+people
+what
+i've
+been
+trying
+to
+do
+since
+i
+began
+writing
+is
+develop
+a
+personal
+notation
+system
+or
+what
+i
+think
+most
+would
+refer
+to
+as
+my
+voice
+as
+a
+poet/writer
+i
+personally
+don't
+like
+the
+word
+poet
+as
+it
+sounds
+pretentious
+to
+me
+i'm
+aware
+i
+should
+get
+over
+this
+however
+there
+were
+some
+places
+that
+still
+needed
+improving
+from
+my
+draft
+manuscript
+most
+notably
+my
+prose
+in
+rip
+tide
+of
+memory
+now
+only
+rip
+tide
+and
+amber
+alert
+i
+rewrote
+each
+to
+tighten
+their
+syntactic
+and
+idea
+rhythm
+to
+make
+them
+move
+more
+lightly
+and
+gracefully
+the
+most
+notable
+difference
+in
+my
+series
+is
+the
+reordering
+of
+poems
+within
+it
+i
+think
+that
+in
+my
+first
+draft
+i
+spent
+so
+much
+time
+on
+getting
+my
+individual
+poems
+tight
+and
+polished
+that
+i
+threw
+them
+together
+somewhat
+haphazardly
+using
+a
+loose
+thematic
+correspondence
+with
+the
+fake
+table
+of
+contents
+with
+the
+new
+order
+i
+hope
+this
+has
+been
+fixed
+the
+piece
+consists
+of
+six
+sections
+each
+with
+three
+poems
+a
+new
+one
+everything
+stays
+the
+same
+makes
+the
+totals
+correct
+each
+section
+has
+a
+thematic/emotional/personal
+element
+that
+ties
+the
+sections
+together
+they
+are
+ordered
+by
+the
+order
+in
+which
+i
+wrote
+the
+sestinas
+at
+the
+beginning
+of
+each
+section
+which
+works
+out
+to
+make
+the
+series
+move
+from
+identity
+to
+memory
+to
+a
+feeling
+of
+universal
+justice
+and
+from
+there
+to
+a
+discussion
+of
+death
+and
+something
+like
+love
+that
+culminates
+in
+an
+exploration
+of
+the
+nature
+of
+time
+and
+cosmology
+the
+piece
+is
+bookended
+by
+the
+fake
+table
+of
+contents
+provided
+at
+the
+end
+as
+an
+ironic
+commentary
+on
+the
+rest
+of
+the
+text
+and
+an
+about
+the
+author
+section
+i
+think
+it
+works
+better
+this
+way
+and
+i
+think
+the
+about
+the
+author
+at
+the
+beginning
+serves
+as
+a
+fair
+prelude
+poem
+to
+the
+piece
+i'm
+excited
+to
+be
+a
+writer
