“Does … hope [pervade] our century? Perhaps, but poetry does not confirm that impression, and it is a more reliable witness than journalism. If something cannot be verified on a deeper level, that of poetry, it is not, we may suspect, authentic.” Czeslaw Milosz

“The effort to obtain an intelligible account of central reality is the effort that informs my dreams for poetry. I aspire not to be an obscure writer, nor to be, as it were, the blinded son, but in fact, to find some congruence between thr profoundest implications of voice, on the one hand, and the mortal clarity, on the other.” Allen Grossman
a unifying intersection
the poet adds his sight
remembers the long line
of memories rare poetry
is a musical achievement
poetry of prose the book
of another writer
writes his vocation
into existence
the poet then like a fine
wined philosopher will fill
his mind unlaboredly
one represents apparent statements
by the capacity of the wild world of
the creatureliness of the reader
serve as poet and achieve
bravery through the impossible
bomb a harvard with engagement

Telemachus
“When mirth reigns throughout the town, and feasters about the house, sitting in order, listen to a minstrel; when the tables beside them are laden with bread and meat, and a wine-bearer draws sweet drink from the mixing-bowl and fills the cups: this I think in my heart to be most delightsome.” Homer
