	Advanced Search > Bolts of Melody Selected by Jim_Jordan Description This notebook contains some of my favorite poets, in addition to some thoughts on reading and writing poetry. The name of this notebook comes from the dedication I wrote in my first book of poems titled "Chasing Emily". The dedication borrows a line from Emily Dickinson. The dedication is "If it weren't for you my love, I would not a chorus be, nor would I be a poet, with bolts of melody."
