[New-Poetry] Art of Finding, Linda Gregg's essay

[JforJames at aol.com]

I like what Linda Gregg is doing in this article...shifting the 
question of writing poems away from craft, the use of poetic  language, etc.
and trying to articulate the ways in which poems are made by training 
ourselves to apprehend fully the world around us...

 _Ezra Pound_ (http://www.poets.org/epoun)  defined craft as  "the means for 
delivering the content of the poem and to deliver it alive."  However, there 
is always a danger in making the craft the thing to be delivered.  The poet 
must have craft, but he/she must also locate the substance, the art  within the 
poem, which is at the center of the best poetry, and is upon what the  craft 
works.
