Great Regulars: I've discovered poets often grow intensely attached

to their dwelling places, whatever they may be. They frequently love their homes with a passion that might seem out of all proportion to the aesthetics of the place and would leave a hard-headed realtor shrugging his shoulders.

I've learned from my long association with the breed that it has nothing to do with the beauty of the place, but rather with the fact they have done some of their best writing there.
