I’ve just found, and followed, David Meeker’s impressive blog, 20th Century Protest Poetry: Poems That Make a Difference. Scrolling down the home page, you’ll find relevant poems, including Carolyn Forche’s “The Colonel,” Roethke’s “The Geranium,” and Nazim Hikmet’s “Letters from a Man in Solitary,” preceded by brief introductory essays. I wish I’d found this sooner, but will make up for lost time.
This is great! Thanks for sharing!

It’s a good one. If only I had a teacher like him I would have started writing poems before I was 50 🙂

Had I a teacher like him I would certainly possess a better understanding of poetry!

Usually while surfing the net I just fall off in shallow water, rarely creating a splash. This one, though, took me to the deep!
