This one of the great things about a list like this.   Someone out there will
have other parts/insights
about almost any subject.   As for Mr. Z.  ,   we can't help where we pick up
parts of anyones work ("Here's an extract from a second poem by Ziegler in which
he gives vent to 
his feelings about the editing and mis-titling of his opus") 

 If someone hands you a poem at "1am in a bar"  - thats all you have to work
with and thats all you know.
   
I am thankful for this list which has the ability to "fill in the missing
pieces".

P.S.  Still,  Janet does the best reading I've heard.
