wisdom
from Willy

William
Carlos
Williams,

a poet
whose easy style
I admire,

once said:

POETRY NEEDS TO BE
CLEANED UP !

good old William
said that
years ago...

and

despite the workshops
despite the creative writing classes,
despite the scholarships,
the research grants

now,

more than ever
before,

poetry
needs
to be cleaned up.
