We gather at night to celebrate
being human. Sometimes we call out low

but the sea does not get smaller! We
eat the clouds and evening light. We
are slaves tasting the royal wine.

Poetry is the most informative of all of the arts because everything comes down to poetry. No matter what it is we are describing, ultimately we use either a metaphor; or we say "that's poetry in motion." You drink a glass of wine and say, "that's poetry in a bottle." Everything is poetry, so I think we come down to emotional information. And that's what poetry conveys.
Yolande Cornelia "Nikki" Giovanni, Jr.

Ethel Percy Andrus
