Much of that wide range you mention is also rather chalenging to do poetically yet, as you show with Kenyon's words, there is where the greatest need is. I too agree. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for those wonderful words, my sweet.Russell Ragsdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530659064306025325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616976.post-64923622484038596032007-09-08T09:00:00.000-07:002007-09-08T09:00:00.000-07:00Life certainly presents a wide range of topics and...Life certainly presents a wide range of topics and experiences to write about, doesn't it, Russell? Unfortunately, so many of them are dark. Jane Kenyon believed it was the poet's responsiblity to write about these dark times as a means of comfort to those suffering likewise. I agree.<BR/><BR/>You did a bang-up job with this one.

Watching her reduced to uselessness is breaking my heart but makes me ask some serious questions about purpose, satisfaction, and the meaning of each breath we take. I have long believed poetry should leave the rare realms of warm fuzzy pretty much alone and talk more about the full range of life experiences. Thanks for the wonderful words, my friend.Russell Ragsdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530659064306025325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616976.post-48200366738263433442007-09-06T08:20:00.000-07:002007-09-06T08:20:00.000-07:00Man, oh man do you know how to paint a bleak portr...Man, oh man do you know how to paint a bleak portrait.
