On the Distinction of Verse and Poetry and New Poems

Alabama Literary Review has published its annual issue, including poems from a range of fine poets, such as Catherine Chandler, Maryann Corbett, John Foy, and Timothy Murphy (just to mention those for whom I have a particular admiration).

The issue also publishes three new poems of mine: "The Scar of Odysseus," "How Many Exiles in the Monasteries," and "All the Hollowed Shells," not to mention my most recent essay on the philosophy of poetry and the art of verse, "On the Distinction between Verse and Poetry, a Classical Solution."  Click the picture to read the whole issue (free and open access).  What a pleasure it is to keep such company in such a place.
