For some odd reason, the expression 'death of a poet' always sounds somewhat more concrete than 'life of a poet.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A life is not sufficiently elevated for poetry, unless, of course, the life has been made into an art.
Usually a life turned into a poem is misrepresented.
Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.
The poet does not fear death, not because he believes in the fantasy of heroes, but because death constantly visits his thoughts and is thus an image of a serene dialogue.
Poetry is rather an approach to things, to life, than it is typographical production.
The cliche is dead poetry.
For better or worse, poetry is my life.
I think that concrete poetry seems to have, as far as I can see, come to a kind of a dead end. It doesn't seem to be going any further than it went in its high period of about five or six years ago.
Let my life as Poet begin. I want the life of the Poet. I have labored for over twelve years, one thousand pages of prose. Now, I want the easiness of poetry. The brevity of the poem.
Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed. Let the dead poets make way for others.
