"I learned to impersonate the kind of person that talks about poetry. It comes from teaching, I think." ― Robert Morgan Topic(s): Poetry More From Robert Morgan "The Language Poets are writing only about language itself. The Ashbery poets are writing only about poetry itself. That seems to me a kind of dead end." "Teaching writing over the years intrudes on your own writing in important ways, taking away some of the excitement of poetry." "You have to really dive deep back into yourself and get rid of so much modern analytical categorization. It’s one of the great things poetry does."

That seems to me a kind of dead end."― Robert Morgan "Everything is complicated; if that were not so, life and poetry and everything else would be a bore."― Wallace Stevens "I don’t know a better preparation for life than a love of poetry and a good digestion."― Zona Gale
