A Little Shift

Today I removed some poetry from this blog because I am submitting it for publication. And so, if you are a reader here, I hope you will not mind.  I will continue to post poetry from other poets and artists that are inspiring, like this piece by Alexandre Day.  Other changes will be forthcoming.

Why Poetry

"There's very, very little money to be made from writing poetry. In that way, it's subversive since anyone can steal it. Anyone can take it. Anyone can learn it by heart. Anyone can whisper it, can carry it into a jail, through borders, across all sorts of state lines. Poetry is that which can be carried anywhere. It's invisible. And that makes it very, very precious in a culture where everything has a price."
