A
Feast for the Soul
Author
Sheila
Bender offers a menu of ideas for poetry lovers in her article, "A Feast for the Soul,"
inviting us to "feast on the bountiful knowledge" poetry offers.
"For those of us writing
poetry," she begins, "reading poetry is essential... The more we ingest and
digest and assimilate their work into our writing systems, the more our writing grows...
What follows is a banquet menu from which you can select a feast to enjoy over a
period of time..."
Her "Hors d'oeuvres"
include instructions on how to receive poems from
Knopf, Poetry Tonight,
or Poetry Daily, and she cites my Poetry and Personality
pages, with "poems
selected to resonate with specific personality types."
Sheila has an online
magazine and resource for poets and writers at
WritingItReal.
