More From Kenneth Koch
- "The subject matter of the stories on the surface… there seem to be a number of stories about travel."
- "As for political poetry, as it’s usually defined, it seems there’s very little good political poetry."
- "I love painting and music, of course. I don’t know nearly as much about them as I know about poetry. I’ve certainly been influenced by fiction. I was overwhelmed by War and Peace when I read it, and I didn’t read it until I was in my late 20s."
