poetry that endures

                                                           
                                                           
 The title of this post is taken from Boyd Tonkin's
Why poetry still matters because the XX poem 
"what if a much of a which of a wind" by E. E. Cummings
moved me into wondering again: What makes a poem last?
A "why poems last" search led me to the feature linked
to above.  It answered my question so well I thought it
best to simply share it.                                
                                                           
                                                          
 In conjunction with this are thoughts on poetics     
which are pertinent now: Tony Tost's Typo 2 notes:
Disarm the Settlers.
                                                            
                                                                
                                                        
 Also, do this search:

and choose the Robert Peake result
