I once read  literature described as "words in perfect order."

I try to read a book of poetry book every month and this year was lucky to have read the Pulitzer Prize winning book before it was announced.

This years winner "The Best of It" is a terrific and very approachable book. http://www.pulitzer.org/works/2011-Poetry

But, to get a daily fix of Poetry or just learn more there is no better place than Chicago based Poetry.Org (and soon there will be a wonderful building in downtown Chicago dedicated to poetry)
