Too Many Lives Are Needed To Make

Many Of Today's Verses Are Prose And Bad Prose.

Evidently The Arts, All The Visual Arts, Are Becoming More Democratic In The Worst Sense Of The Word.

Against The Dark Background Of This Contemporary Civilization Of Well-being, Even The Arts Tend To Mingle, To Lose Their Identity.

However, Poetry Does Not Live Solely In Books Or In School Anthologies.

The Poet Does Not Know - Often He Will Never Know - Whom He Really Writes For.
