Your email reminded me how grateful I am that this summer I will be attending a conference where Mary Oliver will be the featured speaker. I have been reading and hearing her words since I was a child and I am thrilled to have this opportunity... just reading your blog made me excited all over again. * * * * * * * * * * ***** * * * * * * * * *****

Did you guys also listen to the interview? it's not the same as the text part... I liked him more after hearing the interview...

Keri, I'm finding myself partial to the elipses...(is that the official name for these three dots?) as well as your ****

I felt the same way actually. but like you Sabine, I thought his ideas good. We could use more teachers like him in the world.

I liked Ted's ideas about poetry very much, but some of his own poems don't seem that good to me. I think he over-uses the metaphors, and makes it sound like somebody who is trying to be a good writer just a little too hard. Maybe I'm being to critical? I'm not sure, but anyway I liked his ideas.

Poetry captures the essence of it's subject. It can pinpoint feelings and emotions in a nutshell, that we can carry with us forever.

Thanks for the link to the Ted Kooser interview. I liked his idea about how poetry is worth nothing (monetary speaking)which it makes it purer in a sense...
