Interesting.
I know nothing about poetry: I just know what I like.
So if you’ve studied the classics John won’t write poetry for you? Why not?
Maybe he feels it constrains his ability to create if he is limited to a marginal audience who get caught up in things like form or tone.
He’s not writing it for you. You can still read it, though.
Some lovely, moving, non-pretentious poetry that crossed my screen today:
