There is no wing like meaning.
Poetry is not a personal matter.
Poetry is a means of redemption.
Consider
That the whole world is material for poetry.
That there is not a specifically poetic material.
One reads poetry with one’s nerves.

If you’re on campus with a poem, a piece of writing, in your pocket: Drop in to the Chess Room at Hart House and read it to me.

The Poet in Community Group site exists and has lived in the same spot on Facebook for over a year. However, strange things in Facebook-land mean I can’t get in to update the site. So stay plastered here for news and information until the road block is cleared. If you’ve sent me a note there, I’ll respond as soon as I can. Meanwhile, these digs are pretty nice, no?
