Its impulse is the deepening of recognitions through language, in a time of ignorance and mutilation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Miss Rich has written: \"For a poet...there is this primary labor with words. But I have the notion that how you live your life has something to do with it--that morality, for a poet, is a refusal of blinders, of traditional consolations, a courage to be alone, or wounded....A willingness to step out into the fog, to take paths which may lead nowhere. Certainty, predictability, are the first supports that have to go. I see the poetry of things as standing in resistance to brute mechanistic force, the charge of the rhinoceros with its head down. To discover--literally--this poetry and re-create it in language is a poet's essential action.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"W. W.
