Poetry is necessary, but is the poet?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
All poetry has to do is to make a strong communication. All the poet has to do is listen. The poet is not an important fellow. There will also be another poet.
Poetry must be made by all and not by one.
I always feel that whatever isn't necessary shouldn't be in a poem.
Writers must... take care of the sensibility that houses the possibility of poems.
Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry, cannot have much respect for himself, or for anything else.
Poetry is a form of necessary speech... I have sought to restore the aura of sacred practice that accompanies true poetic creation, to honor both the rational and the irrational elements of poetry.
To be a poet is a condition rather than a profession.
The reason a poet is a poet is to write poems, not to advertise himself as a poet.
If you cannot be a poet, be the poem.
The importance of poetry is not measured, finally, by what the poet says but by how he says it.
