Thoughts for Today

It is difficult to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack of what is found there.

— William Carlos Williams

Let us remember … that in the end we go to Poetry for one reason, so that we might more fully inhabit our lives and the world in which we live them, and that if we more fully inhabit these things, we might be less apt to destroy both. — Christian Wiman, Editor, Poetry magazine
