A poem is certainly an animal. Formal poems can be perfect, but perfection is only the beginning. Is it breathing? Can it run? Does it bleed? There really should've been a doo-wop band, The Xygomatics. I imagine they'd be really small.

The white lady poet is Mary Karr, right?

Yes. He is a great poet. Yes. He is an educated professor. Yes. He is human.
