I ride a painted horse, its mane a sullen wonder.
You are behind me on a lilting mare.
You whisper — What of happiness?
Dukham, Federico. Smoke fills my eyes.

Daniela Gioseffi Talks to William Pitt Root about 'Political Poetry'
The rhetoric of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech is so elaborately figured and passionately fired that I, for one, even after hearing it countless times, still have no difficulty taking it as straight to my heart as I take the speeches of Shakespeare. In other words, as poetry.
Robert Klein Engler, Political and Religious, with Kathryn Wagner in The Adirondack Review
Poetry does not begin with an assignment: "Write a poem about an apple." It begins with the poet's encounter with an apple, and the overwhelming necessity of the apple's presence. For a poet, that presence is so great that she is forced to raise up language to meet it. . . . Assignments throw words at things, with the hope some will stick.
