The Poet’s Corner

SOME SORT OF INTRODUCTION

Believe it or not, poetry is about hide and seek. These are the days when everything has to be exposed. If not spectacular, we don’t even pay attention. Zooming seems our only concern. And all that isn’t meant to be somehow useful is immediately forgotten. But there’s so much more beyond and under what we are told to look at. Reading poetry is not about understanding. It’s about letting you go, as if you were taken on a sledge down the highest mountain. Give it a try!
