Rhyme and reason …

… Celebrating the how of poetry.

Eminent poet X.J. Kennedy, a West Chester keynoter in 1999, says, "It's the only conference I know where they care about how poems get written." A tribute to Kennedy happens on Friday at WCU. "The conference attracts poets who go in for what some call the 'old-fashioned traditions' of rhyme and rhythm," Kennedy says. "And happily, there are many young people who realize that the best way to be radical these days is to go back to the old verities."
