Every dude in your high school wasn’t striving to be the best poet because then he’d get all the girls, right? But you could imagine a society in which that were the case (Poet Quotes)

I think that in the process of writing, all kinds of unexpected things happen that shift the poet away from his plan and that these accidents are really what we mean when we talk about poetry (Poet Quotes)
Only when the poet and the scientist work in unison will we have living experiences and knowledge of the marvels of the universe as they are being discovered (Poet Quotes)
For what is the gift of the poet and the artist except to see the sights which others cannot see and to hear the sounds that others cannot hear? (Poet Quotes)

The poet has to make a synthesis out of the moral life of our time, and this life is lived at this moment on a political plane (Poet Quotes)
Genius, that power which constitutes a poet; that quality without which judgment is cold, and knowledge is inert; that energy which collects, combines, amplifies and animates (Poet Quotes)
The truth, it seems, is not just what you find when you open a door: it is itself a door, which the poet is always on the verge of going through (Poet Quotes)
For a poet, making poems is a way of viewing the world, being in the world, breathing (Poet Quotes)
Language can’t be appropriated by one person, one poet. The words belong to all of us (Poet Quotes)
The poet should try to give his poem the quiet swiftness of flame, so that the reader will feel and not think while he is reading. But the thinking will come afterwards (Poet Quotes)
The critic... should be not merely a poet, not merely a philosopher, not merely an observer, but tempered of all three (Poet Quotes)
The unit of the poet is the word, the unit of the prose writer is the sentence (Poet Quotes)
I am an ordinary human being who is impelled to write poetry.... I still do feel that a poet has a duty to words, and that words can do wonderful things, and it’s too bad to just let them lie there without doing anything with and for them (Poet Quotes)
As a poet and writer in general I feel very grateful that I can just make a chapbook and that we don’t have the expenses of filmmakers (Poet Quotes)
Imagination is the supreme endowment of the poet and romanticist. It is a kind of second sight, which conveys the owner of it to places he has never seen, and surrounds him with strange circumstances of which he is merely the spiritual eyewitness (Poet Quotes)
The process of writing a poem represents work done on the self of the poet, in order to make form (Poet Quotes)
Poems are taught as though the poet has put a secret key in his words and it is the reader’s job to find it. Poems are not mystery novels (Poet Quotes)
If you think it so easy to be a critic, so difficult to be a poet or a painter or film experimenter, may I suggest you try both? You may discover why there are so few critics, so many poets (Poet Quotes)
The poem is always the last resort. In it the poet makes a world in little, and finds peace, even though, under complete focused emotion, the evocation be far more bitter than reality, or far more lovely (Poet Quotes)
Poetry and preaching do not go well together; when the preacher mounts the pulpit the poet usually goes away (Poet Quotes)
Of all the arts the living of a life is perhaps the greatest; to live every moment of life with the same imaginative commitment as the poet brings to a special field (Poet Quotes)
It was not the purpose of poetry to record anything and everything, to merely describe either the outer world or some subjective mood, but to speak from the imagination of the poet to the imagination of the reader (Poet Quotes)
I am not just a lesbian. I am not just a poet. I am not just a mother. Honor the complexity of your vision and yourselves (Poet Quotes)
20th century poetry is a piñata. Images break from the earth when the poet strikes it (Poet Quotes)
Poetry examines an emotional truth. It’s an experience filtered through the personality of the poet. We look to poetry for visions, not scientific truths. The poet’s job is to combine new elements. Explore their melting, seeping into one another (Poet Quotes)
