In an age in which poets Poem by Elly de Waard

In an age in which poets

Rating: 4.0


In an age in which poets
have been reduced to novelties, to
marginality, an age, too,
in which languages (like my own)
either merge or vanish

to want to be a poet anyway
in such a historically rich, but tiny
and stubborn language that
has a way of saying things all its own
and in making reference is authentic.

Good to be a poet. Each of us different. This make poetry wonderful.
