Glorious, stirring sight! The poetry of motion! The real way to travel! The only way to travel! Here today-in next week tomorrow! Villages skipped, towns and cities jumped-always somebody else's horizon! O bliss! O poop-poop! O my! O my!

The fact that poetry is not of the slightest economic or political importance, that is has no attachment to any of the powers that control the modern world, may set it free to do the only thing that in this age it can do -to keep the neglected parts

You'll see an intensification of the campaign today, tomorrow and in the future.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the process of reading and short-listing the poetry entries. However, it proved to be a difficult job as the standard seems to get higher each year.

A visual experience is vitalizing. Whereas to write great poetry, to draw continuously on one's inner life, is not merely exhausting, it is to keep alight a consuming fire.

That's quite a difference from the regular season where the development and the major emphasis is, 'If today doesn't go so well, then there's always tomorrow.'
