Poetry, Once Again

As I slowly start to approach my 70s, I am increasingly preoccupied with memories, with the things that I constantly had to push back from my mind, in order to concentrate on the practicalities of work and social life. For a time, I was devoted to poetry. Though I never entirely stopped writing it, I largely ceased to publish or give public readings. Poetry has become a highly competitive world, into which I did not wish to be drawn. I wanted poetry to be about solitude, not performance or social commentary. But now, with much of the pressure lifted, I am starting to pursue it once again.
