Wow - I loved poetry month - and really enjoyed the beautiful essay above. Helena perfectly captured the way that 'you' (or sometimes even 'I') pulls you right into the poems, transporting me back to the flutters e.e. cummings verses launched in my stomach as a teenager - or the way that you feel that you are reading your own, more-eloquent diary entries interpreted by someone else. I'm feeling inspired to check out the many poets/poems recommended. Thank you!
