Janet Frame's poem Poets published posthumously in The Goosebath is the Tuesday Poem this week posted by Pamela Gordon as Guest Editor. It begins:
Poets
If poets die young
they bequeath two thirds of their life to the critics to graze and grow fat in visionary grass...
and speaking of poets there are thirty of them in the live blog roll on Tuesday Poem with poems ranging from Waitangi Day by Hinemoana Baker to Rilke's Orpheus, Eurydice and Hermes to The Woman who Walks Backwards by Diane Brown. It's not just the poems that are worth the visit, but the commentaries give fascinating insights into the poems, the poets and the bloggers. Graze a bit on that 'visionary grass...'
