I always find conversations about something so broad and general as "poetry" a bit daunting myself, since everyone brings to the table different ideas and views on what poetry is and how it should function. But still ... I am just happy to live in a time when there are so many different voices in modern poetry, that we <em>can</em> have conversations and disagreements among ourselves, that freedom to disagree is still a choice. Cheers! Thank you very much, I appricate how you feel about this this.

Keep it up, and best. Zachary, your blog makes me uncomfortable in that you bring up issue so essential to talk about, it’s hard to talk about them. Keep it up, and best.

I have certainly heard of Brian Turner; enough for me to put "Here, Bullet" on my wish list. Let us see if I was good enough for Saint Nick to surprise me tomorrow morning (ah, celebrations ... one if never too old for celebrations!) and if not then I am sure I can get the book through inter-library loan. Have a wonderful holiday poetry bash and I hope all is well with you. Zachary Dear David ~

Check out the most recent edition of The Georgia Review for several recently published poems. In the tradition of Wilfred Owen, his frontline poetry is stunning, and a testament to poetry's ablility to sway opinion, particularly when it is written from the inside.
