Sometimes the words ARE enough
I've admired poets all my life. I adore poetry - too bad there does not seem to be a future in it - oh sure - you can be a poet and be published - but you can't quit your day job...now can you?
I love poets best when they are raw, unflinching, uncensored, sexually-charged, hard, cold, looking death (or love and love's losses) square in the face and laughing...some of my favourites are: Edgar Allen Poe, Shel Silverstein, Anne Sexton, Margaret Atwood, Pablo Neruda (these are just to name a small few).
Thanks to Mr. Hess over at Have Coffee, Will Write - I have a new favourite (to add the the huge list of writers and poets I already admire, read, or just plain wish I could carry their love child *wink*):
Kim Addonizio. (You can read the couple of excerpts here.)
What an incredible voice she has - another trip to my local library is apparently in order - however I fear I will need to covet her words like a fine wine - or perhaps it's more like handling sharp glass that slices your skin before you ever notice the cut - the taste of the blood exquisite all the same....
