Today's comic was inspired by a Chapter 2011 in David Lehman's State of the Art (Pittsburgh, 2015), which opens with the question, What makes poetry great? David then goes on to quote famous poets' definitions of great poetry. I particularly love what Randall Jarrell said of Frost's "Directive": "The poem is hard to understand, but easy to love." I feel that way about many great poems.
I totally love these cartoons. I hope you will make a sequence of them. Thank you.
