Great Regulars: "The goal of the place is to make

everyone feel that poetry belongs to them," says Lee Briccetti [of Poets House in Battery Park City], the executive director for the past 20 years. "Anyone can come and experience poetry in a new way that will deepen their relationship to language." This is a fine and lofty sentiment, but as with all mission statements it is a guiding principle that will prove its effectiveness in the reality of how business is conducted on a daily basis.
