Introduction to Poetry Feature

 

by Jim Bennett

 

 

 

 

Longer Autobiographical poems.

 

The following poems are both part of much longer autobiographical sequences.  In both instances the poems were sent to other poets and in a number of cases the poets responded with poems which were written as a reaction.

 

As these are autobiography I will let the poems speak for themselves.
