It is time to experiment, time to leave the well-ordered but stuffy classroom, time to restore a vulgar vitality to poetry and unleash the energy now trapped in the subculture. There is nothing to lose. Society has already told us that poetry is dead. Let's build a funeral pyre out of the desiccated conventions piled around us and watch the ancient, spangle-feathered, unkillable phoenix rise from the ashes. -Dana Gioia
April is national poetry month...go write something that will start a revolution and prove them wrong. Show that this generation has something in it's mouth worth saying that can bring life to the dead.
