Hi Mark, is it too late to send comments on this? Regarding thoughts on the poems and their appearance in One Art? This article went into my Spam Folder for some reason and I rarely check that. Thanks. And thanks for the link. I can't wait to read them.
I read all 50 poems and wanted to post. Thank you for sharing that beautiful list. It was such a treat. We're having a big snowstorm here that lasted two days so I snuggled up and read poetry. I just made a list of what I loved and divided into ones I loved and thought would go in One Art and ones I didn't think would go in One Art but I loved P.S. I could be totally wrong on that assessment! If I listed all of the reasons why I loved them, this response would go on forever. But I could send a separate response on some of the poems I loved if you would like.
So cool! I love that you took the assignment seriously and went all in!
I also appreciate the "note to self" that you cried in response to reading several of these. I'm sure the poets would love to hear that their work had such emotional resonance with you! Poets/writers really can never hear enough that their work spoke to / touched someone.
