Poets Nobody Read by john k zimmerman Monday, April 19, 2004 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan inspiration comes from many sources. . .
they were cheap: five bucks a bag. castoff from the public library. poets nobody read their books pristine after years of circulation. for the jackets peer earnest hopeful faces. faces full of the flush of accomplishment and the expectation of fame poets nobody read. i wonder was the act of creation reward enough? perhaps the act of creation coupled with the consummation of publication perhaps that was reward be enough or, perhaps, the expectation of fame remains an unfulfilled and unreachable goal who can say?
