Poems For People Who Hate Poetry

Send us a textIn the first of a series of conversations I am planning to have in the Bay Area, I had a great chat with a local poet Maryam Khawar. We discussed some of her short poetry, where she is inspired, why art is important in our lives, and how to become GREAT at anything.Here is a very short poem of hers we discussed: How beautiful, was your mindand the ability to see the essence of the universe I see it through you As you pass from artist to artist We also read the poem "The Apology" by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
