After all, which was I to ignore Oscar Wilde's bromide, "All bad poetry springs from actual feeling"?

However as regularly, this Valentine's Day will urge reams of bathetic, wholehearted doggerel, encouraging us that the greeting card industry trusts mass consumption of singsong rhymes to accompany the roses and also chocolate-covered cherries. At other times of the year, we don't view a rush for Easter villanelles or Trellis Day sonnets. But the love poem? That is international.

To discuss this certain obstacle, we invited four writers to talk about the fine art of the love rhyme, all them writers which transform the subject not as shoelace and also violets nevertheless as a damaged display lcd residence window, "a pains and a twist," "the black rhythm of dominoes," or "a bird/trapped in the terminal"-- anything yet whatever we have actually involved anticipate.
