Quote

Poetry is composing for the breath.

For me, prose walks, poetry dances.

Poetry is a vocal art for me - but not necessarily a performative one. It might be reading to oneself or recalling some lines by memory.

Prose is all about embellishing and describing.

The music just tends to be a vehicle for that poetry.

Poetry has done enough when it charms, but prose must also convince.

Poetry is fascinating. As soon as it begins the poetry has changed the thing into something extra, and somehow prose can go over into poetry.

I believe that poetry should communicate.

Poetry is really a way of sharing feelings and ideas.

Lately, I've been thinking about the difference between poetry and prose, and as I've experienced it, poetry is insistent. It allows for images and statements to operate in a single space and resonate powerfully without the application to be elaborated upon and narrated.
