A Celebration of Poetry

Here are poems, many from a Poetry Month Reading at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation. Written by persons who studied with Eli Siegel, these poems have what Aesthetic Realism sees as necessary in a poem: “Accurate and pervasive music.” That means they met the exacting test of authentic poetry—an achievement that is rare, historically and in our time.
