"Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.
There is no happiness like mine.
I have been eating poetry."
- Eating Poetry by Mark Strand* (PoLau '90-'91)
Finding snippets and reading poems for these blogs has been so enjoyable for me. I am a bit embarrassed to say that I hadn't heard of about half of these poets. Now I can't imagine not having this book sitting by my bed. I can't speak highly enough of this collection. The pictures of the PoLaus and the extra biographical information adds to the experience of the poetry. If you haven't bought this book yet, do it! Seriously, it's awesome.
Thank you so much for eating poetry with me.
