Very interesting topics. i can't say much about rasa theory, but i can appreciate the idea that someone's energy pervades there writing, and someone's editing may change that energy, or ideally rasa or feeling, which could be good or bad. <br /><br />In regards to an editor, I like your view of their job. In my book Give to Live, I had 4 editors who all contributed something, making the book much better than it would have been without their help. As a result, I can't image publishing a book without such expert help, and also feedback from trusted readers.<br /><br />Regarding my free verse poems, well some of them I really like, which they are all OK to me, so I have put them all together for a possible book, and am in the process of editing them, hopefully improving them, and also deciding if I need to cut some--always difficult for attached writers like me, but I think essential. Anyway, I am grateful for your feedback and online association. Nitai Gaura Hari Haribol!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015696208992698403noreply@blogger.com
