"Out of the quarrel with others we make rhetoric; out of the quarrel with ourselves we make poetry." After Yeats, five poets from diverse backgrounds reflect on their geographic, cultural, linguistic, socio-economic, and culinary history. For some it provides a generous metaphor one can draw on with confidence; for others it is a revelation of complicity, a source of reckoning, an occasion for rebellion. For all it is the place where questions and quests are shaped, justice savored or delayed.”
