Poets, we know, are terribly sensitive people, and in my observation one of the things they are most sensitive about is money.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Poets, like friends to whom you are in debt, you hate.
Money is a kind of poetry.
On a practical level, poetry isn't something anybody has really made a great living at. I might sell some books and, once in a while, someone might pay to hear me read.
The public is probably more suspicious of poets than women, and maybe for good reason.
Many poets, as you know, are not good readers.
There's no money in poetry, but then there's no poetry in money, either.
Probably all the attention to poetry results in some value, though the attention is more often directed to lesser than to greater values.
Money is everywhere but so is poetry. What we lack are the poets.
Poets are born, not paid.
A lot of poets too live on the margins of social acceptance, they certainly aren't in it for the money. William Blake - only his first book was legitimately published.
