The Poet (or A Brief Exploration Of A Tortured Heart)
YOU HAVE SET A CROWN AGAISNT THE DISASTER
POEMS WRITTEN BY CRISTOPHER LÓPEZ
Robert Frost once wrote in a letter…
A poem begins with a lump in the throat; a homesickness or a love sickness. It is a reaching-out toward expression; an effort to find fulfillment. A complete poem is one where an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
… And I carry it around with me.
