There is the view that poetry should improve your life. I think people confuse it with the Salvation Army. - John Ashbery
Welcome to the Classroom Issue of PoetryRepairShop. It's been a joy and an honor to eavesdrop on the creative processes of the accomplished poets and mentors who grace these pages. I hope the mentoring movement continues to bloom and would like to thank the poets here for sharing the intricacies of their writing lives. JANET BUCK

The crown of literature is poetry. It is its end and aim. It is the sublimest activity of the human mind. It is the achievement of beauty and delicacy. The writer of prose can only step aside when the poet passes.
- W. Somerset Maugham
