to see a red rose is different from what it feels like to see a yellow rose. Likewise for hearing a musical note played by a piano and hearing the same musical note played by a tuba. The qualia of these experiences are what give each of them its characteristic 'feel' and also what distinguish them from one another." So these perceptions that [W.S.] Di Piero says "we feel in our stomachs" aren't literal or literary. They are dynamic and nameless. And they inspire a poet's imagination into awe and into language. The qualia "make us who we are becoming."from David Biespiel: The Oregonian: W.S. Di Piero's 'Only in Things'
