Writing poetry 

The poet William Meredith taught that one should not shore up his or her personality with a poem. The poem as an artifact must work on its own terms, every word accountable. The value of a poem is its holding a memory to return to with recognition of its meaning.

I like your analogy of a poem and an artifact, an artifact of one's memory.

Dear Neva, You are living proof that creativity continues decade after decade. Open Season gave me great pleasure, especially your poem "Overnight." It's a beautiful testimony to our common humanity.

Keep up your wonderful work! Dana Greene
