OTISVILLE—High school English teacher Evan Mantyk is on a poetic mission. In 2012 he founded The Society of Classical Poets, which its website describes as “a group of poets dedicated to the revival and proliferation of good, new poetry.”
Poetry can express values that improve our society, according to Mantyk. “Americans need to be thinking about our values. Right now tolerance is a big one, with Muslims and immigrants, in general. You need to respect your neighbors, to think outside the box.”
Each word has a place. Each line has a place.
