Poets naturally search for meaning in all acts and gestures, then invest themselves in the discoveries made. With To Take and Have Not, Keith Moul has concluded a very long examination of his own and others' psychological relationships. For more than thirty years, Keith has literally re-mastered numerous versions of these poems until each is truly complete. He calls them "idiom" poems. Each begins with a common idiom that employs a "to take" infinitive that must then be mined for original riches; each is an exposition of a male and female couple's relationship; each enters new territory; each sets an objective suggested by the idiom used, then wrestles with discoveries. None of the poems offer answers to any questions.
