The Record Of Poetry In The 20th

The Birds Are Silent In The Woods. / Just Wait: Soon Enough / You Will Be Quiet Too

The Thing I Learned Is That The Work Is Getting Done By People Who Dig In And Work On A Particular Project: The People Who Spend 20 Years Sustaining A Theater For Black Teenagers In Chicago; The People Who Reintroduce Sticklebacks Into Strawberry Creek In Berkeley And Then Wait Patiently For The First Egrets To Show Up.

A Word Is Elegy To What It Signifies.

Repetition Makes Us Feel Secure And Variation Makes Us Feel Free.

Not To Make Too Much Of A Claim For Poetry, But This Is A Question That Goes To The Moral Heart Of The Business Of Any Art: How Do You See The World, And What Right Do You Have To See The World In The Way That You Do?
