The poem this week does not go with the essay at all. Though I suppose you could say that it does speak of something like value. But “How inadequate the howl” is one of my favorite poems by Andrew.

I would have preferred to write a proper essay to accompany the poem before I made it Poem of the Week. But Andrew’s site has a tendency to go down, so I figure that people ought to read this while they have a chance.

I suppose this old essay will have to do for an accompaniment…..
