Talk

I read this article on what poetry is to our society by Jeremy Schmall. Very interesting and liberal. He said, “Poetry, as it exists today, is a spontaneous, self-organizing and utterly unprofitable source of culture…” and that poets are not a market, but a tribe. Since poets and their work don’t fit into globalization markets (since it doesn’t sell), they define themselves.

Coming Soon

I would love to write a poem in form, but it is hard! This is coming soon, but may take a while to master. Until then, free verse.

Background

Currently, I’m putting up poems that I’ve read to people before. Fresher poem will come.

First post!

This is my first post – just practicing and exploring for now!

My goal for this blog is to post poems that I have written. I think they are quality poems, at least for a person of my little experiance, but that is bragging.

I also hope to be able to connect with other poet blogers!
