Joe Louis meets a live poet
Robert Frost is quoted as saying “Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.”
Reading poetry creates a connection between us, the reader, and the emotion that the author is describing. When that emotion is personalized to capture a truth about the reader, it allows us to connect directly with ourselves.
Violet, perched behind her simple but not yet obsolete typewriter on South Congress Ave., provides free customized poems to interested passerbyers. Short nuggets that could serve as horoscopes, instant delights, or oracular fortunes.
