I confess to crying at sentimental movies. I confess to being a lover of poetry. Frost and friends, after sharing a tasty dinner, retreated to the veranda to enjoy a view of the sunset.
Many journalists seeking truth turn to poetry.
Despite Frost's implication that poetry was his business, in the modern world of publishing, poetry gets short shrift. Several book publishers won't touch a book of poetry unless its author already has celebrity status, and newspapers rarely publish high-caliber poetry unless the poet makes news by winning a prize. Even Frost had to go to England before his poems became popular. Some popular magazines that publish poetry treat it almost as throw-away material, sticking it in leftover space without mention in a table of contents. I've taken up a one-man campaign against magazine editors treating poetry this way.
