Text Quotes
The three ingredients of poetry: the mystery of the universe, spiritual curiosity, the energy of language (Poetry Quotes)
The golden light of metaphor, which is the intelligence of poetry, was implicit in alchemical study. To change, magically, one substance into another, more valuable one is the ancient function of metaphor, as it was of alchemy (Poetry Quotes)
The materials of true poetry are always humble, absolutely idiosyncratic, the autobiographical tatters that, in gifted hands, are made into the memoir that fits us all (Poetry Quotes)
In Italy, almost at every step, history and poetry add to the graces of nature, sweeten the memory of the past, and seem to preserve it in eternal youth (Poetry Quotes)
Love, supreme power of the heart, mysterious enthusiasm that encloses in itself all poetry, all heroism, all religion! (Poetry Quotes)
Though we do not have many poets, we certainly have more than we deserve, for we deserve none at all. It is ourselves that we are hurting by our stupidity and ignorance of poetry (Poetry 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 (Poetry Quotes)
Happiness makes us older, less romantic, less in need of dreams. Discontent, not happiness, is the food of youth and poetry (Poetry Quotes)
I’m sure if you see things you wrote when you were 19, you cringe. I saw stuff like angry poetry that I wrote when I was mad at my father, or photos I took where I smeared period blood on myself. It’s embarrassing (Poetry Quotes)
After I started publishing poetry I got to teach creative writing. Eventually I was promoted and even got tenure. But then I felt compelled to drop everything and move. But I’ve been teaching for a long time. More than four decades (Poetry Quotes)
Teaching has given me a community that cares about poetry, and I’m grateful for that (Poetry Quotes)
I love that people want to know about poetry. It’s one of the ways of keeping alive (Poetry Quotes)
I think translation is an impossible job, and I admire the people who do it in a way that brings poetry to us that we wouldn’t have access to (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry is a tree with very deep roots and while there may be excitement about this or that new little branch, you’re not going to make anything original by just doing whatever’s being rewarded at the moment (Poetry Quotes)
It’s poetry to watch the game when the game is left alone, when there’s not a bunch of flags on the ground (Poetry Quotes)
I often tell people to stop being afraid of writing bad poetry, or bad anything. I think that a lot of times, when people claim that they have writer’s block, or that they get stuck, it’s just because they’re scared of writing bad things (Poetry Quotes)
The first spoken word poem I ever wrote was when I was 14 and I wrote it because I was accidentally signed up for a teen poetry slam. Because I loved poetry I said that I’d try it out (Poetry Quotes)
I fell in love with poetry through storytelling, so my poetry tends to be fairly narrative. I like characters, I like having a beginning, middle, and ending, though not necessarily in that order (Poetry Quotes)
I want to welcome folks to poetry, especially those who may have previously felt unwelcome; I want to celebrate everyone who is trying to make sense of this world through poetry the way I try to (Poetry Quotes)
Writing essays and teaching composition have helped me immensely in writing poetry, because they’ve forced me to focus on the structure of ideas (Poetry Quotes)
I always say that one’s poetry is a solace to oneself and a nuisance to one’s friends (Poetry Quotes)
Dogma and shrinking from the external world are at one limit of the range of belief. At the other are science and poetry and, indeed, reality (Poetry Quotes)
The universe of poetry is the universe of emotional truth. Our material is in the way we feel and the way we remember (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry connects you to yourself, to the self that doesn’t know how to talk or negotiate (Poetry Quotes)
A word is no light matter. Words have with truth been called fossil poetry, each, that is, a symbol of a creative thought (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry and preaching do not go well together; when the preacher mounts the pulpit the poet usually goes away (Poetry Quotes)
I hope that the feeling of making poetry is not confined to the people who write it down. There is no luxury like it, and I hope we all share it.... I am sure that the great glory of poetry in one’s heart does not wait on achievement (Poetry Quotes)
Literature, fiction, poetry, whatever, makes justice in the world. That’s why it almost always has to be on the side of the underdog (Poetry Quotes)
The reason modern poetry is difficult is so that the poet’s wife cannot understand it (Poetry 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 (Poetry Quotes)
