Matthea Harvey Quotes

I think all poetry is accessible in a certain sense if you spend enough time with it Picture Quote #1

Writing a poem is always a process of subtracting: you start with all of language available to you, and you choose a smaller field Picture Quote #1

I don’t like basements, but definitely basements could be poems. Not fond of skin diseases, but again, there’s a pattern. Probably anything could be a poem Picture Quote #1
