Poem Quotes

When I was in Marine training I memorised ‘The Waste Land,’ which was a significant experience in terms of really breaking apart language and thinking about how the different voices in that poem function Picture Quote #1

The closer you get to death, the more alive you feel. Dylan Thomas wrote, Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. My dad always taught me to live like that. Dad wrote a poem too. It goes, Dune buggies. Woohoo! Picture Quote #1

My own emotional health issues were bullying me during the time I was drafting that poem. It was a pressure I couldn’t pin down or diagnose. And like many, if not most, writers I had the self-consciousness to recognize it made great conditions for writing Picture Quote #1

Good poets have written in order to describe something or to preach something - with their eye on the object or the end. The essence of the poetry does not lie in the thing described or in the message imparted but in the resulting concrete unity, the poem Picture Quote #1

A writer’s work often reflects what he or she has been exposed to in life; experiences which are the groundwork of a poem or a story Picture Quote #1

One reason to write a poem is to flush from the deep thickets of the self some thought, feeling, comprehension, question, music, you didn’t know was in you, or in the world Picture Quote #1

A fine poem combines the elements of meaning, music, and a form like a living frame that holds it together Picture Quote #1

If you’re a songwriter, you have to do homework. You can exist for a while on the inspiration, but at some point, you have to sit down and have the discipline to write - to finish the poem, as they say Picture Quote #1

Speaking of [Philip] Larkin, in his poem about the First World War he wrote something like, Never such innocence, before or since, that turned itself to past without a word Picture Quote #1

I started out in graduate school to be a fiction writer. I thought I wanted to write short stories. I started writing poems at that point only because a friend of mine dared me to write a poem. And I took the dare because I was convinced that I couldn’t write a good poem... And then it actually wasn’t so bad Picture Quote #1

Humor, for me, is really a gate of departure. It’s a way of enticing a reader into a poem so that less funny things can take place later. It really is not an end in itself, but a means to an end Picture Quote #1

In a funny way, poems are suited to modern life. They’re short, they’re intense. Nobody has time to read a 700-page book. People read magazines, and a poem takes less time than an article Picture Quote #1

At each moment, a poem might grow into a totally different shape. It is not so much like working in a garden. It is more as if you remade the garden every day Picture Quote #1

I need about one hundred fifty drafts of a poem to get it right, and fifty more to make it sound spontaneous Picture Quote #1

Someday, I’m gonna write a poem in a letter; Someday, I’m gonna get that faculty together Picture Quote #1
