Text Quotes
“How poetic you are,” she said. “I’ve a notion that poetry is the highest form of self-deception.” (Poetry Is Quotes)
A great many people seem to think writing poetry is worthwhile, even though it pays next to nothing and is not as widely read as it should be (Poetry Is Quotes)
And yet, in a culture like ours, which is given to material comforts, and addicted to forms of entertainment that offer immediate gratification, it is surprising that so much poetry is written (Poetry Is Quotes)
Any long work in which poetry is persistent, be it epic or drama or narrative, is really a succession of separate poetic experiences governed into a related whole by an energy distinct from that which evoked them (Poetry Is Quotes)
Because, in fact, women, feminists, do read my poetry, and they read it often with the power of their political interpretation. I don’t care; that’s what poetry is supposed to do (Poetry Is Quotes)
I believe that all poetry is formal in that it exists within limits, limits that are either inherited by tradition or limits that language itself imposes (Poetry Is Quotes)
I believe that the short story is as different a form from the novel as poetry is, and the best stories seem to me to be perhaps closer in spirit to poetry than to novels (Poetry Is Quotes)
I don’t think poetry is something that can be taught. We can encourage young writers, but what you can’t teach them is the very essence of poetry (Poetry Is Quotes)
I have piles of poetry books in the bathroom, on the stairs, everywhere. The only way to write poetry is to read it (Poetry Is Quotes)
I’m not really quiet or shy. Ask any of my friends! But I always ground my poetry in life itself. Poetry is an art of language, though, so I am always aware of every word’s meaning, or multiple meanings (Poetry Is Quotes)
If a poem is not memorable, there’s probably something wrong. One of the problems of free verse is that much of the free verse poetry is not memorable (Poetry Is Quotes)
It takes most men five years to recover from a college education, and to learn that poetry is as vital to thinking as knowledge (Poetry Is Quotes)
Poetry is a beautiful way of spoiling prose, and the laborious art of exchanging plain sense for harmony (Poetry Is Quotes)
Poetry is a mixture of common sense, which not all have, with an uncommon sense, which very few have (Poetry Is Quotes)
Poetry is also the physical self of the poet, and it is impossible to separate the poet from his poetry (Poetry Is Quotes)
Poetry is an art, and chief of the fine art; the easiest to dabble in, the hardest in which to reach true excellence (Poetry Is Quotes)
Poetry is innocent, not wise. It does not learn from experience, because each poetic experience is unique (Poetry Is Quotes)
Poetry is the art which is technically within the grasp of everyone: a piece of paper and a pencil and one is ready (Poetry Is Quotes)
Poetry is the work of poets, not of peoples or communities; artistic creation can never be anything but the production of an individual mind (Poetry Is Quotes)
The first function of poetry is to tell the truth, to learn how to do that, to find out what you really feel and what you really think (Poetry Is Quotes)
To know anything of a poet but his poetry is, so far as the poetry is concerned, to know something that may be entertaining, even delightful, but is certainly inessential (Poetry Is Quotes)
True poetry is similar to certain pictures whose owner is unknown and which only a few initiated people know (Poetry Is Quotes)
Written poetry is different. Best thing is to see it in performance first, then read it. Performance is more provocative (Poetry Is Quotes)
Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed. Let the dead poets make way for others (Poetry Is Quotes)
The point of poetry is to be acutely discomforting, to prod and provoke, to poke us in the eye, to punch us in the nose, to knock us off our feet, to take our breath away (Poetry Is Quotes)
Historical sense and poetic sense should not, in the end, be contradictory, for if poetry is the little myth we make, history is the big myth we live, and in our living, constantly remake (Poetry Is Quotes)
Prose is when all the lines except the last go on to the end. Poetry is when some of them fall short of it (Poetry Is Quotes)
Poetry is not a civilizer, rather the reverse, for great poetry appeals to the most primitive instincts (Poetry Is Quotes)
Poetry is halfway between prose and music: it is sometimes like an intimate conversation, in words and phrases which need not be fully uttered, and sometimes like dancing and wordless music (Poetry Is Quotes)
Poetry is subconscious conversation, it is as much the work of those who understand it and those who make it (Poetry Is Quotes)
