SANDY MCINTOSH LEADS US GENTLY
out of April and National Poetry Month....with an Opinion piece in today's Newsday that begins:
In a TV commercial for a brand of windows, a rumpled, obviously hung-over young man is asleep in bed. Outside his room, it is spring, and the announcer unctuously intones a made- for-TV poem about the wonders of it all, while a sound track plays annoying animal chirps and gurgles. At last, the young man, with great effort, slams the window shut, silencing smarmy poem and raucous nature.
We are now at the end of April, T.S. Eliot's cruelest month, and the beginning of spring. April is National Poetry Month. But before we put away those slim volumes of verse we've been reading so diligently, let's ask ourselves this question: Why do poetry (even bad poetry, in the commercial's case) and spring always get lumped together? And even more fundamentally, why poetry at all?
