At the s...I hope to be able to read your book soon. At the same time, from your thumbnail summary here of your assessment of the politics of poets, I am skeptical. That poets are usually on the political left is unsupported by my experience and my own reading. I have met numerous argumentative right-wing poets in many venues, and they are often as loudly vituperative as their political compatriots in the public arena. Whether or not I agree with them, they are there. So I guess I don't agree with the assumption, and therefore arguments in favor of it—in the absence of more detailed evidenced, which hopefully I shall gain from reading your section on the topic—seem to me to be inductive rather than deductive reasoning. <br /><br />On other fronts, I'm intrigued by the Neruda mention.

That's so rare. I couldn't help noticing that immediately after those moments some compelling insight had me shaking my head in agreement and appreciation for something precisely right on. So this combination of joy and intelligence is winning the day, to say the least. I think the reason I feel so relaxed in my reading is that you do not shy away from the reality of pain, and as a result you're asking the questions of poetry that I too wish to have asked and answered. All to say, I'm optimistic in regards to The Poet Resigns.<br /><br />But tell me, why metal folding chairs of varying sizes?Frances Madesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03621630522922354741noreply@blogger.com
