"...poetry's role in our contemporary society...to look at whatever mainstream culture ignores" spoke deeply to me, and the poem she read brought me to tears. Thank you Maureen for this lovely post.
"In the age before there was writing, poetry was memory"
I love how she describes the evolution of the purpose of poetry. Lovely. Thank you!
"Softly, calmly, immensity taps at your life."
Very enjoyable introduction.
