Summary

Poetry. An exchange of poems between two people is not a new idea, going back at least as far as T'ang China. However, an exchange between a father and son is relatively rare. A poetry dialogue between a father and son, the idea for ENOUGH SAID began when, in his early twenties, Kiev Rattee wrote in a letter that he was probably too young to write about "the big things". That comment sparked Michael Rattee's poem "Big Things" and the idea of an exchange of poems began after he sent the poem to Kiev. The poems themselves are very organic. Some respond to a core idea presented in the last, others grow from a stolen line or title, and still more careen off in some new direction altogether.
