If
you can capture the way things are, that’s all the poetry you’ll ever need (Natalie Goldberg), all the poetry that
is necessary to sustain us, capturing life the way it truly is meant to be lived
and holding it close to us. For what could be more beautiful than to look
beyond the dross of life, beyond the covers we place over our lives so as not
to spoil ourselves, stripping all that away and discovering what we’ve hidden
there, or perhaps feared to see, and seeing it now in its simplicity, hearing
its voice in verse, and feeling its blood coursing through us, finding the
beauty of being alive and knowing that beauty is us.
