"Poetry, almost by definition, calls attention to its language and form." ― Robert Morgan Topic(s): Poetry More From Robert Morgan "Philip Larkin has a tough honesty and sense of humor that I find irresistible, as a contemporary poet." "It was less a literary thing than a linguistic, philosophical preoccupation… discovering how far you can go with language to create immediate, elementary experience." "The young people have MTV and rock and roll. Why would they go to read poetry? Poetry belongs to the Stone Age. It awakens in us perceptions that go back to those times."
