Poetry is Not Dead
The Poetry Society of Virginia supports a reading the first Saturday of every month. Today four poets read at the James City Library. It was excellent, live, free entertainment.
One of the nice things about the poetry readings is that the poets tell you a little about how they happened to write the poems, and that biographical information makes the poems even better.
Afterwards many of us went to lunch at Jimmy's Pizza Restaurant. We enjoyed good food and stimualating conversation.
Poetry is not dead. It is alive and well in Williamsburg, Virginia and I hope in many other places as well.
