… We like authors, and there's room enough in this space to talk about them, but let's discuss the art of poetry as well. from XineAnn: He thinks a lot. :) But perhaps it also this way: Poetry makes its own sense of things. The goddess breaks through -- Calliope, Erato, Euterpe open the door for her. And if I have read enough good poetry, written enough bad lines, and practiced my craft in the service of my own passions and interests, then perhaps I will be ready to bear the poem that drags …

This is a group of poetry lovers that meets monthly to share poems. Some of us are poets, and some are not.
