New Word Sudoku (Qudoku!) Puzzle for Sunday, 4/4/2010

A poem should not mean but be."

www.poets.org offers daily poems, just like this blog offers daily puzzles…go visit!

Inaugurated by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, National Poetry Month is held every April to celebrate poetry and its place in our culture and to introduce more of us to the pleasures of reading poetry.

Today’s Qudoku puzzle set shares a poem about poetry: Archibald MacLeish's "Ars Poetica". The poets.org Web site explains that MacLeish’s work was written in part as a response to the highly rhetorical nature of English poetry at the start of the 20th century; the explanation concludes with the quote highlighted at the beginning of today’s blog entry.
