The poem I'm going to come back to after dinner (I **figured** you had mentioned him! I've probably commented on posts where you talked about him--maybe a friends-only posting of the poem, for instance. But these things fly through my head like a bird through a great hall), but YES: a great deal of information in the spaces of what it asks. For sure. I always feel like ethnography says as much about the asker as the ask-ee.
