"I do not go in search of poetry. I wait for poetry to visit me." ― Eugenio Montale Topic(s): Poetry More From Eugenio Montale "There is poetry even in prose, in all the great prose which is not merely utilitarian or didactic: there exist poets who write in prose or at least in more or less apparent prose; millions of poets write verses which have no connection with poetry." "Poetry is the art which is technically within the grasp of everyone: a piece of paper and a pencil and one is ready." "Narrative art, the novel, from Murasaki to Proust, has produced great works of poetry." More In Poetry "A theology should be like poetry, which takes us to the end of what words and thoughts can do."― Karen Armstrong "Poetry is something that happens in universities, in creative writing programs or in English departments."― Mark Strand "The Language Poets are writing only about language itself. The Ashbery poets are writing only about poetry itself. That seems to me a kind of dead end."― Robert Morgan
