I wish I could say this on all the "younger poets" threads I've followed here, but I'm so grateful to know each of you and think you're doing marvelous work. I genuinely love the oblique, the angular, which I see in many of the best poets. Coleridge can write perfect blank verse in "Frost at Midnight" and then can give us "Kubla Khan," and both poems astonish and sustain me. I think these young poets are pitching themselves into the right conversations--form, content, the whole kiboodle. How do you spell kiboodle?
Bless em.
