I believe that only poetry counts ... A great novelist is first of all a great poet. (Poetry Quotes)

[Kafka] transformed the profoundly antipoetic material of a highly bureaucratized society into the great poetry of the novel; he transformed a very ordinary story of a man who cannot obtain a promised job . . . into myth, into epic, into a kind of beauty never before seen. (Poetry Quotes)
Think of the great poetry, the music and dance and ritual that spring forth from our aspiring to a life beyond death. Maybe these things are justification enough for our hopes and dreams, although I wouldn’t say that to a dying man. (Poetry Quotes)
That’s one of the great things about poetry; one realises that one does one’s little turn - that you’re just part of the great crop, as it were. (Poetry Quotes)

Read. Read. Read. Read. Read great books. Read poetry, history, biography. Read the novels that have stood the test of time. And read closely. (Poetry Quotes)
Most great books have been about striving in some sense. In a sense, money is the great topic of the novel. You couldn’t necessarily say that about poetry. (Poetry Quotes)
One of my greatest joys is poetry. I read it almost every day, and I’ve even taken a stab at writing some of my own. A poem I wrote for my mother when she was dying really helped me get through that hard time. (Poetry Quotes)
Poetry was one of the things that interested me most as I was growing up. I used to write it in my head all the time. I still think the very greatest pleasure in life is to write a poem. (Poetry Quotes)

Poetry and fiction have grieved for a century now over the loss of some vitality which they think they see in a past from which we are by now irrevocably alienated. (Poetry Quotes)
The banner of the project is ‘Casa de Colores.’ Under that banner, I’m going to invite people to do a lot of good things. Perhaps working in groups, working on poetry. (Poetry Quotes)
Even though I am the daughter of a poet, and my stepmother is also a poet, growing up, I didn’t think I could understand poetry; I didn’t think that it had any relevance to my life, the feelings that I endured on a day-to-day basis, until I was introduced to the right poem. (Poetry Quotes)
