Great Regulars: "I write poems because I need art

in order to seek full expression," [Peter] Sears said in an e-mail exchange. "The effort is exciting. I am really fully engaged only when I am working on a poem. If I don't write for a while, I get a little musty and irritable. Were it not poetry, it would be some other art. I believe art is actually a way of knowing as in discovering what you know but cannot otherwise access."
