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."
- "I want a fever, in poetry: a fever, and tranquillity."
- "The New York Quarterly is an amazing, intelligent, crazy, creative, strange, and indispensable magazine."
