    I am a big fan of Walt Whitman, Sharon Olds, and Allen Ginsburg. I will check out the other guy, too! Sharon Olds is so calm as the other men take up most of the time! Oh, well, it is great this is still available to see.

      Galway Kinnell. Read The Bear. It's pure naturalism. Very primitive and beautiful.

    "When your heart flows broad and full like a river..." Kinnell's reading of Walt made me think of D.H.Lawrence's Ship of Death. Did only poets catch that broad deep river of love? Where is it to be seen in America?

    ...the answer to Sharon Olds question at 11:25....is that Walt became Spiritually embellished..ripe..the fruit fell from the Living Tree at his feet...among the leaves of grass....Cosmic Consciousness..expansive and Eternal as his own sense of Self...the very Song of Himself.🌈This awakening of the Spirit of All embracing Love is Perennial and not dependant on apparent physical age or a seeming of worldly experience.Cheers.Thank You to the poster.

    The conspiratorial smirks on the faces of the guests as Rose mispronounces Galway Kinnell's name is juvenile and arrogant. I would say that this mere gesture disqualifies all of these "poets" from having anything of value to present to us. Pay close attention to the behavior of those you idolize - you will soon learn to separate the mundane from the holy.

      Thanks for your comment. I am often getting replies for the lots of foolish sniping that I habitually executed years ago here on CZcams. I am a very jealous person and was raised by an authoritarian family. You look very wise. Could you possibly suggest ways in which I could get into poetry such that I could become a better person ? If this sounds ironic then the ironic vibe doesn`t seem to register consciously. I find Sharon Olds incredibly powerful. Compassionate. Emotional. Uplifting ! @@DebNKY
