I read as much poetry as time allows and circumstance dictates: No heartache can pass without a little Dorothy Parker, no thunderstorm without W. H. Auden, no sleepless night without W. B. Yeats.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Writers must... take care of the sensibility that houses the possibility of poems.
Poetry is indispensable - if I only knew what for.
Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand.
Poetry says the things that I can't say. I read a lot, but I never write it.
My feeling is that poetry will wither on the vine if you don't regularly come back to the simplest fundamentals of the poem: rhythm, rhyme, simple subjects - love, death, war.
I cannot speak for more than an hour exclusively about poetry. At that point, life itself takes over again.
I don't think I've ever read poetry, ever.
I read poetry to save time.
I don't think I've ever read poetry, ever. I'm not really book-smart.
Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.
