Dear Geraldine,
you wrote to Helen: '...I don't see poetry's first role as telling stories
or expressing emotion. And now I'm speaking as what I am. White middle
class. No point in apologising for that.'
& basically I agree with you, but I'm wondering, what do you see as the
first role of poetry? This is a question I ask myself constantly and my own
answers vary.
What do you think? That just a request for expansion, by the way, not a
challenge...
Cheers,
Cassie
