And, I mean, I think poetry does need to be met to some extent, especially, I guess, 19th century poetry, and for me, it's just been so worth the effort. It's like I'm planting a garden in my head.
Poetry can tell us about what's going on in our lives - not only our personal but our social and political lives.
I guess I find the boundaries between poetry and prose to be somewhat permeable.
Poetry is like a bird, it ignores all frontiers.
I don't live for poetry. I live far more than anybody else does.
Poetry is an art, the easiest to dabble in, but the hardest to reach true excellence.
I've never written poetry. I'm not a poet, but I think the nearest you get is either the short story or the novella, in that you can't waste a word. There is no hiding place: everything's got to be seen to relate, and the prose counts.

Poetry is the art which is technically within the grasp of everyone: a piece of paper and a pencil and one is ready.
You will find poetry nowhere unless you bring some of it with you.
