Yes, I have one.
My favorite poet is John Ashbery, which may be a bit of a cop out. I could have said Robert Pinsky who I saw in 1999 and was amazing. He made poetry interesting and he has tremendous stories.
Why am I bringing this up?
Well, I was trying to stretch out my ailing lower back last night and this stanza came into my head.
Smiling to yourself and others.
It gets to be kind of lonely
But at the same time off-putting.
Counterproductive, as you realize once again
From Just Walking Around
Which then got me thinking of A Man of Words. Which says some of the best things about blogging that I have ever read...and was written in 1973.
Who is your favorite poet, if you have one?
