Poetry cannot afford to lose its fundamentally self-delighting inventiveness, its joy in being a process of language as well as a representation of things in the world.

What is "The Redress of Poetry", Heather? Is it a poem? Is it a book title? If so, what is the book about? And why 'redress'? What is he 'redressing' about poetry, and why? (So many questions...)

What makes a great poet? And whose idea of a great poet are we talking about?

Well I always thought The cat sat on the mat had great promise and it has certainly lasted the distance

Sadly though I have no idea who wrote it
