More From Mark Strand
- "And at least in poetry you should feel free to lie. That is, not to lie, but to imagine what you want, to follow the direction of the poem."
- "A life is not sufficiently elevated for poetry, unless, of course, the life has been made into an art."
- "And yet, in a culture like ours, which is given to material comforts, and addicted to forms of entertainment that offer immediate gratification, it is surprising that so much poetry is written."
