I'm packing for a trip so I have to cut this short but I hope all is well with you and yours. Btw, I'm with you all the way on poetry. I believe a part of it is that as a society, we have no decent language skills anymore; speaking, writing or the ability to actual write with pen in hand. How much does that matter? Not sure, but I think it does. Have you ever read civil war letters back home? Perfect handwriting, beautiful script, flowing words, profound thoughts and feelings. I'm always amazed at how those letters written by supposed undereducated illiterates puts most writing to shame these days.
