More From Anne Stevenson
- "I don’t like poetry that just slaps violent words on a canvas, as it were."
- "I have always made my own rules, in poetry as in life – though I have tried of late to cooperate more with my family. I do, however, believe that without order or pattern poetry is useless."
- "Yes, I do often write poems from the mind, but I hope I don’t ignore feelings and emotions."
