I am glad you mentioned my favourite Canadian poets. Here is what she thinks about poetry, in her own words.
Above all
a poem records speech:
the way it was said
between people animals birds
a poem is an archive for our times
—Dorothy Livesay, "Anything Goes"
Thank you,
I greatly appreciate the poem and comments.
All the best,
Ariadne
