And the way you present poetry in such an accessible way, one can't help but get sucked into it. Because I am not from the Southeast, I especially liked that you shared local poets to help me learn more about my new home. Thank you! Kory, your passion is inspiring.

Great post. I love poetry and for so long thought I was only in league with old ladies that had cats and smelled like Bengay. Wow, I now know different. Still sooo insecure but I love that your passion for poetry is inspiring others. Yeah you. Hey Kory. Great post.
