First Blog

so i don’t know how many of you read postsecret.com…it’s really interesting if you don’t…but at the end of this weeks there was a link to this http://www.foundmagazine.com/ not sure if it’s on this blog or not but is basically a magazine/website with things people have found written on various things…a lot of them poetic check it out!

from Billy Collins “The Trouble with Poetry”…

“I thought to myself/as a cold wave swirled around my feet/and the lighthouse moved its megaphone over the sea,/which is an image I stole directly/from Lawrence Ferlinghetti-/to be perfectly honest for a moment-”

saw this while looking at postsecret.com, it reminded me of our discussion of voice within a writer’s works. It’s interesting because everyone thinks of physical parts of a human, when in reality a person’s voice is one of the most important to me.
