Poets: Colin Gilbert

One of my favorite living poets, Colin Gilbert continues to inspire me. He is fearless, confrontational, observant, curious, sweet, and difficult all at once. And, even in his ugliest state - he is beautiful. His newest poem, "Hope Song", has my spirit singing and my fingers snapping.

His FB status says,

believes America won't let it's children swim, thus dooming them to drown.
