Enjoyed the poem very much... the summary does it justice. I was alerted to the fact that the narrator had to imagine certain things in the shop: "The anvil must be somewhere in the centre," so he had not the intimacy of entering within, but stayed without. The summary touched on how the poem might describe the poetic process of forging a poem... I agree.
