A Letter from the Poet Marie Howe

In my seminars, I have stated that you can write a letter that is a poem (I've done it many a time). I am a HUGE fan of Marie Howe and own all her poetry books and would suggest that you buy them. They are short and so beautiful that I can only state that her words are Music. PLEASE BUY THEM AND SUPPORT GOOD ART!!!!! While being interviewed on NPR's Fresh Air, the amazing poet Marie Howe stated that her poem "What the Living Do" was a letter to her deceased brother. You can see the poem and hear the interview here: http://www.npr.org/2011/10/20/141502211/poet-marie-howe-on-what-the-living-do-after-loss
