Above All

A thought for National Poetry Month...

Despite moments of self-doubt and the inevitable rejections, never give up. Poetry is a lifelong pursuit, not a craft to be mastered in a year or two, or even through a Creative Writing degree. The poet open to the art’s twists and surprises will grow. The point is not to “arrive”, but to thrill at the inner adventure and share what you discover with any who are attuned to listen.
