What is poetry (credit: Quixillated)

[Lizzie]

Quix is an example of genuine artistic potential, because she has distinctive perspectives and angles of seeing; she feels what's present and also what's absent. Also, the heart is always there in her work -- it's not trying to be clever for the sake of being clever. She reminds us of how a poem doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. 

For those of you who haven't seen it, her spotlit poem is haunting and visceral. http://www.pigpenpoetry.com/thread-19199.html
