Poetry Quotes

Baseball is to our everyday experience what poetry often is to common speech Â- a slightly elevated and concentrated form Picture Quote #1

For this reason poets and artists developed the doctrine of Art for Art’s Sake. The community did not appear to need them, so, tit for tat, they did not need the community. This being granted, it was no longer necessary or even desirable to make one’s poetry either intelligible or sympathetic to the community Picture Quote #1

A group of us started a community center in Santa Monica. We’ve tried different programs, and three have worked really well. A poetry group. Once a week we visit Venice High and talk to girls at risk Picture Quote #1

I have to reach the poetry condition to write. Then it is as if the border around me is thinned or blurred or erased or disappeared or dead Picture Quote #1

I’m not sure about prizes. I don’t know how far you can seriously raise public consciousness about poetry. Having a ‘National Poetry Day,’ like a ‘No Smoking Day,’ is just shelving the problem. Things which should by rights be every day are not best served by these things Picture Quote #1

Anyway I read more contemporary poetry than contemporary fiction so my mind goes first to a kind of crass conceptualism that repeats vanguard gestures of the past minus the politics and historical context Picture Quote #1

The creative act amazes me. Whether it’s poetry, whether it’s music, it’s an amazing process, and it has something to do with bringing forth the old out into the world to create and to bring forth that which will rejuvenate Picture Quote #1

Naming a baby is an act of poetry, for many people the only creative moment of their lives Picture Quote #1

I go to a lot of museums, I read a ton of poetry - anything that’s a creative expression of oneself, I find really inspiring Picture Quote #1

Poetry is something that happens in universities, in creative writing programs or in English departments Picture Quote #1

In high school, my English teacher Celeste McMenamin introduced me to the great novels and Shakespeare and taught me how to write. Essays, poetry, critical analysis. Writing is a skill that was painful then but a love of mine now Picture Quote #1

I think I’m a very good reader of poetry, but obviously, like everybody, I have a set of criteria for reading poems, and I’m not shy about presenting them, so if people ask for my critical response to a poem, I tell them what works and why, and what doesn’t work and why Picture Quote #1

Writers quite often starve. And I’m mainly just writing critical prose and poetry, that’s a formula for starvation Picture Quote #1

As for how criticism of Keats’ poetry relates to criticism of my own work, I’ll leave that for others to decide Picture Quote #1

I haven’t come to you only to take , I haven’t come to you empty handed : I bring you poetry as great as yours but in anther tongue , I bring you black eyes and golden skin and curly hair , I bring you Islam and Luxor and Alexandria and Lutes and tambourines and date-palms and silk rugs and sunshine and incense and voluptuous ways Picture Quote #1

But I don’t think that poetry is a good, to use a contemporary word, venue, for current events Picture Quote #1

Poetry has roots, but they are sometimes cut off and still poetry is written Picture Quote #1

News isn’t designed to talk about daily life in its nuances, but poetry is Picture Quote #1

Rational intelligence is dangerous and leads to ratiocination. The painter is a medium who doesn’t realize what he is doing. No translation can express the mystery of sensibility, a word, still unreliable, which is nevertheless the basis of painting or poetry, like a kind of alchemy Picture Quote #1

Dare to DreamYes, if you can dare to dream.Surely you can catch the sunlight’s beam.While all else seems to fail.Truth shall forever prevail.(Copyright excerpts from the poem and published poetry book ‘From the Silence Within Picture Quote #1

We like to think we live in daylight, but half the world is always dark, and fantasy, like poetry, speaks the language of the night Picture Quote #1

Society’s dark hull drifts further and further away. It is this place - the place of our separation, our distinction - that much of his poetry occupies Picture Quote #1

Poetry operates by hints and dark suggestions. It is full of secrets and hidden formulae, like a witch’s brew Picture Quote #1

I always wrote poetry as a teenager and it was always so dark, but it made me feel good to get it out Picture Quote #1

My poems tend to be more celebratory and lyrical, and the novels so far pretty dark. Poetry doesn’t seem to me to be an appropriate tool for exploring that Picture Quote #1

The writing of poetry is a chancy business, it’s currency solitude and loss, its tools coffee and too much wine, its hours midnight, dawn, and dusk, and unlike other trade the hours asleep are not time off Picture Quote #1

I think that concrete poetry seems to have, as far as I can see, come to a kind of a dead end. It doesn’t seem to be going any further than it went in its high period of about five or six years ago Picture Quote #1

I do believe that one’s writing life needs to be kept separate from Po-Biz. Personally, I deal with this by not attending too many poetry readings, primarily reading dead poets or poems in translation, reading Poets and Writers only once for grant/contest information before I quickly dispose of it, and not reading Poetry Daily. Ever Picture Quote #1

The dead made this world. We didn’t make it. They made the poetry and the songs and the customs Picture Quote #1

Go to hell, Willy, our souls eat poetry, but one has seven deadly sins to feed! Picture Quote #1
