		<description><![CDATA[Little Friend, Little Friend &#8211; Jarrell&#8217;s Powerful, Quiet, Short Homage to America&#8217;s War Introduction by Daniel Mallock A great poem ought to be huge &#8211; grand in scope, but not necessarily excessive in length. Great poetry should tell massive stories with multiple layers concisely and artfully. One doesn&#8217;t need obscure references, convoluted language, nor self-congratulatory [...]]]></description>
