@markrstoll @vjoshuaadams Regarding "cultural relevance": I just had occasion to recall this wonderful statement by Tomas Transtrømer on poetry as "inspired notes" (which I had forgotten is a response to a version of the claim that poetry is "dead"). #poetry #TomasTranstrømer https://andrewjshields.blogspot.com/2007/11/inspired-notes.html
@TheShellyTea That reminds me of this lovely text by Tomas Transtrømer. #poetry #TomasTranstrømer
