One of the things I most appreciate about you is how intentional you are about being where you are, and owning it. I feel like if you ever get to the point of writing "generous" poems, it will be because that is legitimately the space you are inhabiting at that point.

In which case it will probably still make great poem art--just a very different kind. In the meantime. You're right. This continue to be amazing.

Thank you, Jenn. That’s so kind. I’m actually getting ready to start a generous poetry project here in a bit. ☺️

Your title reminds me of a song by 10cc from the fall of 1975 with the refrain "Art for Art's sake, money for God's sake!"
