Transcription

Homer spoke thunderous words to the crowd of warring nations and ships adrift, Dante laid careful verses to paint a picture of hell, his quest for salvation through the fires of damnation, the city of Dis, the Devil in ice at the bottom- most pit. Shakespeare redefined what it means to be human, played the trials of love, asked whether we should live on this stage we all share. Kat the Poet--what will be said when the ink has run dry? When the words of one beautiful soul rise up in the air like a mist, like a cloud--what will her rain help to grow? Resilient means results, a fighter to the very last round--what magic will Kat the Poet manifest before our gener- ation's hourglass sand runs out? I know not, but I hope to find out.
