POET'S CORNER - POETS CORNER IS A COLUMN DEVOTED TO POETRY; A POINT OF REFUGE IN THE ONLINE WORLD WHERE THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF LANGUAGE CAN COME FOR CONTEMPLATION AND RENEWAL. IN PONDERING A NAME FOR THIS COLUMN, WE REMEMBERED POETS CORNER AT WESTMINSTER ABBEY, AND, IN NYC, ST. JOHN OF THE DIVINE CATHEDRALS AMERICAN POETS CORNER. THESE SACRED SPACES IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD OFFER A PALPABLE RETREAT FROM THE BUSTLE OF THE EVERYDAY; THEY ARE PLACES WHERE SILENCE AND ONLY THE MOST LUMINOUS AND CONSIDERED OF WORDS HOLD SWAY. WE ARE DRAWN TO THIS CONNECTION BECAUSE WE BELIEVE POETRY CAN BE A KIND OF SACRED VOCATION AS WELL AS A CONTEMPLATIVE ENCOUNTER.
