I enjoyed emmet's poem response due to the similarities it showed in comparison to mine. We agreed on a lot of points like how frank oHara used the character actions to portray feeling. Thus, it was an ideal choice for the quote from Amy lowell, “Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.” One would be hard pressed to find another poem that which utilizes reactions to convey emotions better than oHara's.
Another post I liked was Caroline's which is right above emmet's and uses the same quote from Lowell. However, the game is changed when totty introduces a new poem into the fray, "The Harlem Dancer" by Claude McKay. In this work of art, McKay depicts a dancer and the moves he used to encapsulate the audience. Once again, portraying art through action and allowing the reader to witness the beauty of free interpretation.
