Greetings Bloginistas... My New Favorite poet is C.D. Wright, who passed away yesterday, in the morning. I knew of her, but had not read too much of her work. After reading about her death, I then delved into reading about her, and, in turn, her amazing verse. Sadly, the death of an artist often lends … Continue reading My New Favorite Poet – In Memoriam: C.D. Wright (1949–2016)
The Moment
First, thanks to The Poesy Chick for this awesome post! Second, I truly believe that Ms. Atwood's amazing prose overshadows what may be some of the finest poetry ever written. Read this and then pick up some of her other verse. You won't be disappointed! Enjoy! Jamy :o)

My Latest New Favorite Poet: Ned Balbo

a little “share” so you won’t despair
Greetings my lovely Bloginistas! I have felt a bit overwhelmed and depressed today (not the LEAST bit unusual for me, Cancerian that I am 😉 ) and when I need a boost, I read this poem.

My Latest New Favorite Poet: Kathleen Aguero
My latest new favorite poet is Kathleen Aguero. The below poem (from American Life in Poetry: Column 517) was one of the poems (based upon personal experience) that punched me, hard, in my emotional stomach. It's just beautiful, and actually quite comforting, to think that those who left us are now in a place of … Continue reading My Latest New Favorite Poet: Kathleen Aguero
