In linked sonnets he has given voice to soldiers, sailors, sex slaves, professors, monks, atomic bomb victims and many others. His feat reminds us that war histories fade, but the poetry of war lasts forever. http://thesop.org/story/poetry/2010/01/19/no-journalist-or-historian-can-tell-the-tragedy-of-war-like-a-poet.php http://thesop.org/story/poetry/2010/01/19/no-journalist-or-historian-can-tell-the-tragedy-of-war-like-a-poet.php dmmarbrook@earthlink.net (Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)) Mon, 18 Jan 2010 06:46:00 GMT I cant give you the words, To tell you how it feels, To stand at the foot of a pile of rubble, Rubble that just a few minutes before http://thesop.org/story/poetry/2010/01/17/words-for-haiti-memories-of-1995.php http://thesop.org/story/poetry/2010/01/17/words-for-haiti-memories-of-1995.php poetryforlife@cox.net (Ed Roberts) Sun, 10 Jan 2010 05:05:00 GMT The media's alarmist delivery of news tricks us into overestimating its significance. That daily dose of anxiety is nowhere near as important as what our artists and writers tell us. That is why From the Fishouse, an audio archive of emerging poets, is important: it preserves the voices of the sensibilities that will still matter in 100 years. http://thesop.org/story/poetry/2010/01/09/a-poetry-archive-that-will-prove-more-important-than-the-news.php http://thesop.org/story/poetry/2010/01/09/a-poetry-archive-that-will-prove-more-important-than-the-news.php dmmarbrook@earthlink.net (Djelloul (Del) Marbrook (Editor/Mentor)) Thu, 7 Jan 2010 18:53:00 GMT There are many forces that drive the way we live our lives.
