What I like about this is the sense of hope and how hope is expressed through a poets writing even if it’s only on the edge of envelopes. I imagine all those unknown poets in places like North Korea nibbling away at the dictatorship with their missives.

wow – this is deep

I like Naomi Shihab Nye. Any of her poetry books is good. She has quite a few in the Apple book store.
I tried a poetry writing course but dropped out due to ill health. I just don’t think I’ve got natural rhythm. That’s a ridiculous statement because we all have rhythm.
I like in Leonard Cohen’s poetry books how he includes little non poetry essays. I wonder what is the market for micro essays and how one goes about getting them published. Who knows? A mystery.
