Prose Quotes

As a prose writer, I work with language; and those who work with language turn to poetry for renewal Picture Quote #1

I’m a games and theory kind of guy. I love puzzles, so it was fun dissecting Shakespeare’s prose Picture Quote #1

There neither is, nor can be, any essential difference between the language of prose and metrical composition Picture Quote #1
