You will feel empathy and compassion probably some sympathy. But these poems are not meant to make its listeners feel sorry for the author.

Poised between myth and time, Philip Brady's To Banquet with the Ethiopians: A Memoir of Life Before the Alphabet is a sprawling, genre-defying verse epic, an audacious masterpiece of wit and erudition that blends Homer's discovery of the alphabet with a man's return from near-death and a boy's struggle to see the adult world through the prism of an ancient epic.

The only clue left behind is a backpack covered in a foot of snow lying next to him. The one thing he knows for sure is that if he doesn’t get up and start moving, he’s going to freeze to death.

Ad esempio, un poeta può decidere di non divulgare i propri scritti, facendo in tal modo della poesia un'esperienza privata e discreta. Un altro, invece, può stabilire di non comporre poesie, rimanendo sì interprete (nella vita quotidiana) della propria indole poetica. Un altro, ancora, pur nutrendo il desiderio di pubblicare le proprie opere, può trovare soltanto l'indifferenza da parte dell'editoria.
