| Of course you can! And from anything else the poet wishes, poetry is born. What we must be wary of is the high stench of dictation by dictators wishing to enclose poetry within certain brackets. Like Plato, the dictator wishes to ban any or all poetry on the basis of its being dangerous to the established order of the soul. The soul is a silent but deadly force that will out its own poetry in response to taking in too much from others - it may even claim not to be a poem; but, it is. So, we've an eclectic group of poets and themes being outed here. Enjoy. Highly recommended is THE POETRY OF OSWALD LE WINTER available this month on Ygdrasil at http://www.synapse.net/~kgerken/Y-0306.HTM; LeWinter is the model of social narrative well deserving the notice of our readers and writers. Elsewhere online is John Horvath's Great Lent in Mississippi. New Orleans: Exquisite Corpse, 2003 April. [http://www.corpse.org/mississippi_corpse/John_Horvath.html]. |
