Eli Siegel's Poetry -- and, What is poetry?

As a person who loves poetry, and teaches it in my high school classes, I think the following page is tremendously valuable: Eli Siegel's Poetry -- and, What is poetry? It contains many poems and translations by the founder of Aesthetic Realism, American poet and critic Eli Siegel (1902-1978) , works of literary criticism by him and others, lectures he gave relating poetry to other subjects, and more. It is a resource I value, and I think other people will agree.
