a teacher once cautioned, are the ones who have something to impart that they could not have learned in any ordinary way. [Norman] Jordan seems to be one of those unusual people. His way of writing poems resembles the work of a sculptor: He collects images and sculpts, arranges and polishes. Hear an audio interview with him on thegazz.com MountainWord blog at http://thegazz.com/gblogs/mountainword/. Here is the text of one of the poems he recited there, reprinted with permission:
"How to Sprout a Poem"
