I think we talk too much about how poetry can get to the edge of the sayable, can take us back and take us beyond what can be said. I love poetry, because it gives me the concrete. It gives me concrete experience and it helps me to understand my experience.

—Christian Wiman, from his interview on Moyers & Company

~Trent Gilliss, senior editor
