I know that because of people like Margaret Atwood, and even people like Jill Scott and Black Ice that the art of poetry is not dead--what needs to be saved or savored is the art of poetry reading--to let the word wash over your soul, your heart, mind to feel those words, to seep them in--rather than think them--Poetry is Alive--Margaret Atwood is a genius. She rules words with heart, emotion, wisdom, strength and absolute control. ( )
