No pretensions: just poetry. Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read No pretensions: just poetry. Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg â€œGod has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.â€� â€”Anne Sexton On Clouds â€� â€œâ€¦what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another aboutâ€¦â€� â€”Yevgeny Zamyatin â€œIf the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesnâ€™t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.â€� â€”Donald Hall â€œPoetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creationâ€™s tears in shoulder blades.â€� â€”Boris Pasternak â€œWanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.â€� â€”Charles Simic â€œLanguage is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.â€� â€”Gustave Flaubert â€œPoetry is not an expression of the party line. Itâ€™s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, thatâ€™s what the poet does.â€� â€”Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Womenâ€™s National Book Association).
