Poetry begins where language starts: in the shadows and accidents of one person's life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot happens by accident in poetry.
Poetry is the experience of liberty. The poet risks himself, chances all on the poem's all with each verse he writes.
Poetry can tell us about what's going on in our lives - not only our personal but our social and political lives.
Poetry is one of the destinies of speech... One would say that the poetic image, in its newness, opens a future to language.
Poems are a form of music, and language just happens to be our instrument - language and breath.
Poetry is, first and last, language - the rest is filler.
The other side of it is that, despite all that, people reach out to poetry at the key moments in their lives.
Poetry is the most intimate of all writing. I want to speak first from me to myself and then from me to you.
Poetry is the lifeblood of rebellion, revolution, and the raising of consciousness.
Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.
