luddite moment

With all the talk about how new technologies (twitter, facebook, blogs, youtube, ebooks, podcasts, etc.) are changing poetry, I can’t help but think that perhaps poetry’s future may be better served by delivering poems via carrier pigeons and bottles tossed into the sea.

James,

I think maybe we're there already -- in that future you speak of -- at least virtually speaking.

Each of us watching the horizon for that sail that never comes.

To be one another's Leucothoe, maybe the best we can do.
