- Text of a lecture delivered to the Sphex Club in Lynchburg. Thomas C. Tiller explores the evolution of his appreciation for poetry, from initial disinterest to a deep engagement with poets and their works. He discusses the essence of poetry as both a creative and evocative form of expression, touching on its power to convey complex emotions and experiences. Tiller emphasizes poetry's role in significant life events and its capacity for social commentary, highlighting examples like Bob Dylan's Nobel Prize and the impact of Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko. The paper underscores poetry's diverse forms and the personal connection readers can find within its lines.
