...One of the best poems about poetry ever written.<br /><br />Note the brushwork of the poem. The application of thought upon the page. Short, careful strokes of about 5-8 words each, one after another, until some truth is revealed. "But there's still love left." Or "Self-portraits understand...fear of death." <br /><br />Note the sound and rhythm in the poem -- employed Zireauxhttp://www.immortalmuse.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298334170177578638.post-83926190556415390652011-03-22T00:36:35.950+13:002011-03-22T00:36:35.950+13:00Thanks for this - Elizabeth Jennings is really und...Thanks for this - Elizabeth Jennings is really undervalued. One of my favourites is the poem she wrote for her still-born child called 'A Child Born Dead'. It's not emotional, but its effect is devastating and you wonder at the skill that can distill so much grief into such a perfect vehicle to carry the grief of others. Her 'one flesh' poem is another of my favourites.<Kathleen Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645566938871914385noreply@blogger.com
