Definition of a Poet
Not many of us think of E. B, White (bom July 11,
1899)-as a poet, though we may have known him as
an essayist, humorist, letter writer, or New Yorker
columnist. From an early age, however, he’d fallen
“into questionable habits: I liked to rhyme one word
with another . and his characteristic humor and wit
are easily recognized in his poems such as those defin
ing a commuter or fashions in dogs. In his preface to
Poems & Sketches of E. B. White , the author defined his
terms: “To me, poetry is what is memorable, and a poet
is a fellow or girl who lets drop a line that gets remem
bered in the morning.” And sketches, he said, meant
“everything in this collection that is not a poem.”
Surely one out of every .
three persons is a poet
either secretly or
openly.
