School of Quietude Badge

Yesterday I received my School of Quietude Poetry Badge. I'm so excited! I saved up Proof of Purchases from collections by my favorite SoQ poets, like Billy Collins, Ted Kooser, Donald Hall, and Robert Pinsky. Now, I'm deputized to talk about the human condition, write formal verse, and decry poetic experimentation. Be on the look out -- I might bring your poem to SoQ Jail, where we'll refuse to beat the sense out of it; we'll expect it to confess everything on its own.
