I guess its national writing day or week or something. Funny because on the Seed Magazine website they have an article claiming that everyone will publish by 2013. Since online mediums allow people to do that for free, you don't just have to write a book. Blogs, twitter, emails, all add to the internet written words. Publishing, to Seed, counts as 100 people reading or viewing your post.
Howard Nemerov has a collection of poems book that contains many of his books of poetry. It's quite amazing how much poetry he has published. His word choice and rhythm often roll off the tongue nicely. The meaning of his imagery and the development of each piece really points out a certain idea or message. I read somewhere that he often writes from the loser's perspective or the outcast. Maybe, sometimes it's hard to tell what he's writing about at all, but that's the art of poetry. There's no explaination, just the poem. The multiple meanings in each work are probably unique to the individual that finds them. Anyway, great poems, you should check them out.
