J$ Breaks it Down for Y'all

Jeremy Smith laments the state of poetry and sets some cummings free:
My feelings on modern poetry are not unknown. Ezra Pound impaled it on the stake of the dada art movement, and it has never recovered. All we get now is TV poetry -- skits of words that are entertaining and shiny but possess no architecture, no expressed intent of creation. However, one unique poet emerged from all of this; captivated this style; and perfected it. Every other tried to recreate it... since. And, with absolute disregard of any kind to whatever applicable copyrights that may exist (if it's on the Internet, it's free), I will reproduce one of his more technical pieces here. e. e. cummings - somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond any experience,your eyes have their silence: in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me, or which i cannot touch because they are too near...
Head on over to his site and read the rest.
