Josh Massey : part three

How did you first engage with poetry?

A Mother sits with her Son, on the couch, and she has the boy interpret with her help "The Sick Rose". The boy will often recall that poignant realization that the worms were there in the petals, and that there was something else, a deeper layer even to the worms in the words... into a vision...

And the boy listens to the poet singers of the 1960s and feels the feeling of writing in the first journals is the uplifting feeling of looking at all the lights underneath the quilt. That is someone, like me, first engaging with poetry.
