That is why, to me, poetry is one of the most vital treasures that humanity possesses; it is a bridge between separated souls.” ~ Brendan Kennelly
“Poetry is, above all, a singing art of natural and magical connection because, though it is born out of one’s person’s solitude, it has the ability to reach out and touch in a humane and warmly illuminating way the solitude, even the loneliness, of others.
