A True Poetry Feast



This is just a hint of things to come. I'm like someone lost in the desert finally found. Not only found, but given my own gushing fountain of crystal pure cold water and an endless table of the best fruits, meats and vegetables and then left alone to devour them in my own time, at my own pace.

I'm talking about this four-disc poetry series entitled Poetry On Record: 98 Poets Read Their Own Work 1888-2006. I'm going to be talking about it for some time, but for now, I can't be selfish. I've got to share just a little of it with you just in case you need your own tangible literary feast (I'm concluding a wonderful interview with some of the principals of this project and I'll share it with you soon, but until then here's a sample of the poetry):
