"Most people ignore most poetry because most poetry ignores most people." ― Adrian Mitchell Topic(s): Poetry Tags: ignore, people, poetry More From Adrian Mitchell "Written poetry is different. Best thing is to see it in performance first, then read it. Performance is more provocative." "Stadium rock and commercial rock are the opposite of what poetry needs. An audience of around 200 is ideal for poetry." "I use rock and jazz and blues rhythms because I love that music. I hope my poetry has a relationship with good-time rock’n roll." More In Poetry "The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it… It’s a great outlet. I’m not really sure who I am – it seems I change every day."― Leonardo DiCaprio "In the language of poetry, where every word is weighed, nothing is usual or normal. Not a single stone and not a single cloud above it. Not a single day and not a single night after it. And above all, not a single existence, not anyone’s existence in this world."― Wislawa Szymborska "Each memorable verse of a true poet has two or three times the written content."― Alfred de Musset
