[Newspoetry] Re: Newspoetry is...

[Anne Bargar]

Newspoetry is a loving alternative to harsh intellectual criticism.

Newspoetry is many different ways of looking at things.  

Newspoetry is not caring if you're fashionable.

Newspoetry is being able to write after work.

Newspoetry is saltines with roquefort, crostini with Cheez Whiz.

Newspoetry is ass-kicking daily therapy that invites you back for more.
