Quote

Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.

Sometimes you have a poem that you really want to write and it never happens.

Poetry's always dead, you know? You don't realize how good poetry is until 15 years later.

We simply have not kept in touch with poetry.

Dismissals of poetry are nothing new. It's easy to dismiss poetry if one has not read much of it.

In the total darkness, poetry is still there, and it is there for you.

After the last line of a poem, nothing follows except literary criticism.

Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed. Let the dead poets make way for others.
