enriching our poetry


Reading the work of other poets is especially critical to the succesful growth of any poet.

It is not about being like any other poet but about developing an ear for other's voice. About awareness to sounds and textures in words. And about the color of language.

Sometimes it is about learning what a message is when silence is all that is playing in the wind.

These things not only enrich our work, but our lives as well.
