SOUND & SENSE

Or SENSE & SOUND… The words are taken from the 2004 TS Eliot Lecture given by Don Paterson. He called the talk ‘The Dark Art of Poetry’ , although he immediately dismissed the title as a – "nonsense". At the end of the talk he states, ABOUT the two words sound and sense – "we need not connect what is already joined".

The walkingtalkingwriting search for "poetry weblogs" – poetry and poetic territory – is a search for meeting places where – "we need not connect what is already joined".

The Poetry Library in London warns of the hundreds of thousands of poetry websites, and links according to the following themes:
Audio
Children
Education
International
Libraries
Listings & portals
Organisations
Poems
Poetry advice
Poets

In our view (… walkingtalkingwriting: – journeys accross boundaries, ABOUT who or what we meet over the threshold), few indeed of these sites are the meeting places we seek where – "we need not connect what is already joined".

You have been doubly warned!
