The Gold Nerve of Our Condition

14th November 2006

I have been enjoying Peter Nicholson's Poetry and Culture column over at Three Quarks Daily. In particular, his thoughts on irony in our emerging century struck a chord. He calls poetry, "the gold nerve of our condition" and urges the art toward a kind of new humanism. I guess I'm not alone in thinking something's gotta change.
