"Lapped in poetry, wrapped in the picturesque, armed with logical sentences and inalienable words." ― Anatole Broyard Topic(s): Poetry More From Anatole Broyard "To be misunderstood can be the writer’s punishment for having disturbed the reader’s peace. The greater the disturbance, the greater the possibility of misunderstanding." "We are all tourists in history, and irony is what we win in wars." More In Poetry "How do poems grow? They grow out of your life."― Robert Penn Warren "The poetry community here has been extraordinarily welcoming."― George Murray "I started off in England and very few people knew I was Australian. I mean, the clues were in the poems, but they didn’t read them very carefully, and so for years and years I was considered completely part of the English poetry scene."― Peter Porter
