More From Peter Davison
- "My friends never talk to me about my poetry because they’re embarrassed that I write it or they’re embarrassed by what I write about which are not such extraordinarily terrifying things, but they are the state of human existence."
- "But there is some way in which poets believe that and this is dangerous, too believe that their calling gives them a certain freedom. A certain freedom to live in a free way."
- "I think poetry has lost an awful lot of its muscle because nobody knows any. Nobody has to memorize poetry."
