William Carlos Williams is one of my favorite contemporary poets. In addition to his exceptional giftedness as a writer and author, he excelled as a medical doctor and possessed special skill at discerning the needs of people and writing about the human condition. In one of his poems, he wrote:
"It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there."
Just let that sink in for a moment. Isn't it so compelling? What are your thoughts? Please post a comment here.
