Wendy Taylor Carlisle — Texarkana,
TX
Poet-in-residence, October 2003
"The
deeper meaning of the practice of poetry evolved for me
sitting by this pond. Here, I had a chance to see the larger
picture. After three weeks in this wonderful sanctuary,
I have a new appreciation for poetry as a sacred art and
to this place as the proper space for its pursuit."
