IZZY GUMBO, A Great O.P. Poetess Not Read, Why? O,shy?

"When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses."
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA

"When arrogance leads man towards power, poetry reminds him that She's a Woman..."

hey there! long time no hear from each other ) I hope all is going well and i've actually thought about you recently, the other day as matter of fact. then here you are... with this wonderful email. I'm honored (I think!) that you want to study my poetry. I hope it's worthy of such a thing! The link you provided, I couldn't find the ThoughtCasters class, so perhaps you can send a more direct link? I'd love to follow your 'study' write and fill me in. xo

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
