Description

Greetings Faux Poets and Writer Ghosts,

Willa Cather said that she write best when shestopped trying to write and began simply to remember.

Enjoy Well Red Devil's presence today and heed her words of well read wisdom.

Remember: "It is only in the vast, black darkyou just might glean a spark and use that illumination to add elation to the bleak, the dim, the stark."

Faux Poe OUT!

*A poem compiled from lines of other poems is calleda cento. The word comes from the Latin for "patchwork garment," which describes how the poet stitches together verses from different sources to create a new work.

*Eugene Field lost a child; two children died in infancy, and his oldest son, Eugene Field, Jr., died at age 13, leading to the deeply emotional tone of his famous poem "Little Boy Blue," though the poem was not directly inspired by any single child's death.
