More From James Dickey
- "I think Ginsberg has done more harm to the craft that I honor and live by than anybody else by reducing it to a kind of mean that enables the most dubious practitioners to claim they are poets because they think, If the kind of thing Ginsberg does is poetry, I can do that."
- "The New York Quarterly is an amazing, intelligent, crazy, creative, strange, and indispensable magazine."
- "She was the Judy Garland of American poetry."

- "If you go into a bar in most places in America and even say the word poetry, you’ll probably get beaten up. But poetry is a really strong, beautiful form to me, and a lot of innovation in language comes from poetry."― Jim Jarmusch
