It’s Poetry at
Work Day 2017.
And I have a
confession.
This is now the
fourth year that Tweetspeak Poetry has sponsored Poetry at Work Day. I’ve
written about it and celebrated it. I wrote a book called Poetry at Work.
My confession:
associating poetry with work still sounds strange to me.
The first
connection between poetry and work was made for me. I was part of the
speechwriting team at my company, and a friend gave me three poetry collections,
“You can’t write speeches unless you know T.S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, and Wallace
Stevens,” he said. These three great modern poets helped shape not only poetry
and literature but also speechwriting.
