Poetica # 2

How do we form our own views of what is going on in another’s world? By understanding the foundation of imaginative, subjective, ‘inner’ thinking. Poetry isn’t like prose or informative essays or scientific rationality or the outer world — it communicates to us about inner worlds, firstly those of the poets, and then, if the poet is successful, about our own.Welcome to the many inner worlds of the more-than-one-hundred poets in this volume.
