Dear Wilders, A friend of mine passed on this link with several outstanding articles on the subject of poetry. You will enjoy Stafford's article in particular if you are suffering from that pesky inner critic that visits from time to time. Sharon Old talks about poetry and...the Pope's penis ha ha. And seriously folks there's a good article in here on line breaks. Enjoy! http://www.ualr.edu/rmburns/RB/essayst.html E Word Walker Press | ||

E- Thanks I am enjoying these. My fav quotes so far: Voltaire--The way to bore people is to tell them everything. Dizzy Gillespie--It took me all my life to learn the biggest music lesson of them all--what not to play. Robert Frost--The unsaid part is the best part. Never tell a reader what will leap into his mind without your telling. So the meaning can explode within the reader, not just within the words on the page.

Oh these are wonderful. I love what Frost said. That is an incredible lesson. All these jewels should be compiled into a book. And Dizzy's quote is pure poetry. Glad you are enjoying! E Word Walker Press | ||
