Where do you guys place poetry in this conversation about literature?
I'm a big fan of the poets from the 20's and 30's, but also medieval poets. However, my friend _______ writes in rhyming couplets - from her heart - and although her poetry is a bit primitive in style, the emotion that she is able to capture always brings a tear to my eye. She just sits down, says she is going to write a poem during lunch, and then emails it to us. Amazing!
