Introductory Post

For a poet, I am not lyrical at all with titles. So here you get a new iteration of my old blog, "Shenan Attempts Poetry," with this one, "Shenan Thinks About Poetry."

The reason for my first blog was to share what I was writing as I was writing it, get some feedback from people outside my classes (that never happened, oh well), etc, and the reason it was taken down was the whole "self-publishing on a blog counts in a lot of people's eyes as being 'previously published,' which precludes a lot of legitimate publications from publishing you, if you ever so attempt that" thing.

Anyway, I still like writing ABOUT poetry, and I think about it a lot, and I had a few posts on my old blog that were devoted to philosophical wonderings about the subject, which I found interesting to write and maybe someone out there found interesting to read. So, with some back-dated re-posting of some of those old ones and a new-posting of some other stuff, here we go!
