The essays on the subject of poetry are, for the most part, introductions to my 78 booklets of poetry. My intention is to place as many of the essays I have written on the subject of poetry in this document.
Notes
I now have some 78 booklets of poems totaling over 7000 poems and some four million words(circa) for the period 1980 to 2015. Each booklet of about 100 poems has an introduction and it is these introductions that are found here. These introductions try to place the booklet of poetry in context, a context that is my society, my religion and my life. There are, in addition, several other essays on the subject of poetry.
