Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

From NPR interview with Edward Hirsch.

For those of us who need that help, Hirsch also cites the late William Matthews on "the four subjects of poetry," which are:

"1. I went out into the woods today, and it made me feel, you know, sort of religious.

2. We're not getting any younger.

3. It sure is cold and lonely (a) without you, honey, or (b) with you, honey.

4. Sadness seems but the other side of the coin of happiness, and vice versa, and in any case the coin is too soon spent, and on what we know not what."

that's awesome.

I am so ignorant. Everyday I discover a great writer I never heard of.

To put a positive spin on that. It is a good day when I find new writer I like.

Perezoso was exasperating but he turned me on to a lot of great writers. I think you, hester, and I are the only ones that miss him.
