Twain laid down some Mississippi truth. Sherwood Anderson – Ohio truth.
Hemingway drew his career from war and the wilderness. Faulkner ripped a curtain open to the South. Harrison still writes about us, Bukowski drank us,
Dickinson added hyphens, William Carlos Williams reduced it all but not before he read Whitman. Whitman read Shakespeare. Shakespeare died centuries ago. We have all read Shakespeare. Shakespeare is vocabulary for all poets. Poets reside in coffee houses. Coffee houses have sidewalks. Sidewalks are where people wander, where people remember, remember they are animals.
