Finalized Set of Questions

Here's the cluster that managed to make it to the final stage:

• What is the poet's responsibility?

• What is your stance on, or relationship with, the nature of language?

• "The role of poetry is to purify the language of the tribe." (Mallarme) -- How does poetry in the 21st Century relate to the emerging "language of the tribe"?

• Blake: "Enough, or too much." How does this apply to your writing/revision/editing process?

• What roles do luck and play have in your work with poetry?

I will have another blogsite up for the responses to these questions. In soliciting poets and editors, I'll ask them to respond to two or more of the questions -- my wife indicated that five might seem a bit much in all our busy wanderings. If you would like to participate, let me know at: poetryquestions (at) gmail (you know the rest!) dot com.
