More from National Poetry Month

As you'll recall, I pledged to not completely ignore any poems that crossed my path this month. It just so happens that I haven't seen any poems since The Tyger. The month is nearly over, but I suppose that makes one poem more than I would have ordinarily read. Oh well. :)

Tangentially-related however, some might be interested to read poet Saul Williams' open letter to Oprah after her show on hip hop's response to Don Imus. An excerpt:

...there is nothing more negligent than attempting to address a problem one finds on a branch by censoring the leaves.
