Orson Welles is a big deal this week, which I love. His work was groundbreaking, and despite Berowne's correct assessment that much of Citizen Kane's excellence is due to Herman Mankewitz's script, I must say, the vision of Welles, the camera angles, the little touches, attention to detail, at such a young age, continue to impress. <br /><br />Your poem, with Big Daddy God loosening his ascot, is great. Allusion to the wine of communion (which is usually before its time, ha ha, cheap) was an especially good metaphor. Thanks for your great blog!
