Amy, the role of the poet is to express the truth in whatever form that takes. It is not the poet's job to do anything but write. I am talking about the post-modernist understanding that there is no permanent loci, no I, from which the voice issues- there is no presence. There is, for me, a co-existence, though temporary, between all things and that is what the poem addresses.

Jack, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

You're very kind Destroyer A. I look forward to reading your poems. How did you come up with a name like that? It doesn't seem to suit you <3
