Roses are red / Is the love poem dead? Santa Fe poets expand on why it is not
Here’s an interesting little series of interviews with Santa Fe poets about love poems… it was funny seeing Jon Davis (aka Chuck Calabreze) quote the one Pablo Neruda book as bad, and Artur Sze quote it as good… though I did use the same line Sze quoted as the little epigraph for my poem On Dog Mountain, but it’s still unpublished, so who knows… maybe it was a bad place to start from. Anyway, check it out, it’s not terribly wrong, and it’s always interesting to hear poets’ opinions on poetry…
