The Kind of Impatience Which Means to Celebrate the Moment

I stopped for a moment and gave some thought to a potential argument that a poet’s life is measured by a certain number of books. Six books. Three books. Twelve books of poetry and one nonfiction book. Not an argument of quality or quantity, but an argument that looks to the book as the thing that gets counted.

Most poets only publish a few books of poetry. Would that number rise if the publication process itself was speedier?

My hunch is yes.

This, I realize after the fact, is one of the founding principles of Di Mezzo Il Mare.
