JOHN HORVATH Jr To Writers of Poetry and Verse Writing poetry - that is, poems or verse meant to be published - requires some definite sense of 'what I have is important to say'. Many poets have said it is not ego but a compulsion, one I expect similar to the yoke of prophecy. Consider Gideon and Cincinnatus upon whom an unwanted gift is thrust. Upon completion of their tasks, they return to mundane life. |
Poetry endangers the established order of the soul - Plato REPAIR: resort, frequent or habitual going; concourse or confluence of people at or in a place; making one's way; to go, betake oneself, to arrive; return to a place; to dwell; to recover, heal, or cure; to renew; to fix to original condition. -- Oxford English Dictionary TOP POETRYREPAIRS values the various perspectives and talents of a diverse community of poets and readers. |
