Vyt is a poet among poets and likes Holderlin AND Williams. He knows the collision between the grand and the not so grand is a dialectic propelling us forward, the constant and sometimes funny dance the poet, serving Poetry, gets to perform in this decidedly un-Poetic time. He knows this bleak reality is our Reality, and no matter how much Poetry would like to transcend it, Poetry must serve it as it is.
