A Poet on Poetry
Aug 11th, 2007 by ShaunO
It would be very rare that I’d find something on Jim Lehrer’s NewsHour which I would feel like passing on…
So, there you go, the old cliche holds… “there’s a first time for everything”.
The piece is about poet, Alberto Rios.
And I particularly like these from ‘Words over Water’, a ‘Poems of Public Purpose’ project to which Alberto refers to in the piece.
To visit the river quickly
Cut an onion
Nobody owns water
Drink some and try and keep it
I need say no more as the full audio and video of the segment is available.
