One culture I find fascinating to juxtapose against American culture is the culture of Germany.

The idea of avant-garde art is a very suspicious thing to me, the idea that poetry is new and it keeps being new the way Chevrolets every year are new. (Poetry Quotes)
You have to really dive deep back into yourself and get rid of so much modern analytical categorization. It’s one of the great things poetry does. (Poetry Quotes)
