"The great watershed of modern poetry is French, more than English." ― Robert Morgan Topic(s): Poetry More From Robert Morgan "Pound’s translation of Chinese poetry was maybe the most important thing I read. Eliot a little bit later." "It was less a literary thing than a linguistic, philosophical preoccupation… discovering how far you can go with language to create immediate, elementary experience." "Poetry, almost by definition, calls attention to its language and form." More In Poetry "At this point we’ve answered about every question you could possibly imagine about Deep Space Nine, so we do this thing called Theatrical Jazz, where we do a show of bits and pieces of things from plays and literature, poetry… stuff that we like. It’s fun."― Rene Auberjonois "Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood."― T. S. Eliot "Bleak House is just the most astounding piece of work. There’s huge, visionary poetry in it."― Simon Callow
