More From Peter Davison
- "And there are a lot more people reading poetry, but there are not so many people reading an individual poet."
- "It is a way we reassess our past. We can do that in poetry in ways we can’t do in prose."
- "They need to learn poetry. They don’t need to learn about poetry. They don’t need to be told how to interpret poetry. They don’t need to be told how to understand poetry. They need to learn it."
