by user Don Pesci “Tell the truth,” says the poet Emily Dickenson, “but tell it slant.” The poetry resides in the slant. Bill Curry, a liberal Democrat who ran for governor a few times and now writes a column for the Hartford Courant, is Connecticut’s politician poet in residence. Personally, I’ve always considered it unfortunate that Curry had not prevailed over former Gov. and felon John Rowland. For the purpose of this piece, I am interested mainly in examining Curry’s political poetry. Does this prosaic view of inconvenient truths disturb at all the politics of accusation? __NOEDITSECTION__
