Dead Poets Society 2009

About Me

My name is Stephanie and I am the President of the Dead Poets Society 2009. Fashioned after the inspiring film of the same name, we love literature (especially poems) and are inspired by words. We get together often, reciting and celebrating work of poets and authors from the past! Previously a published and secret society, we are now opening our doors to an inspired few who would like to be part of this great tradition. Email me if you are interested."We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"Myspace Layouts and SO much more from WhateverLife.com! ?
