Kevin Champeny is a friend, and fantastic artist, who lives and works in New York City. We met in college, an I have blogged about him, his work (and his pranks) before.  Currently, he is in a contest that will help expose his talent to the rest of the country AND via social media.

Kevin is busy and brilliant, but he still makes time for the people he cares for.  Please, so this dude some love.

Poetry

I have never really been able to understand poetry. It’s a failing of mine that I’ve never tried to correct either. When pushed I can write a haiku, but I wouldn’t really call that being a poet, or understanding poetry.

I’ve tired a few times. I remember in high school reading poems by Pushkin because of a National Geographic article. In college I figured I should read more Yeats given my love of all things Irish, but I know I didn’t fully appreciate it. As a full fledged adult, I haven’t read any poetry outside of Will’s Haiku Year.

Folks, I want to read, and really comprehend, a poem. Link it here.
