More From Adrian Mitchell
- "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."
- "Most people ignore most poetry because most poetry ignores most people."
- "Written poetry is different. Best thing is to see it in performance first, then read it. Performance is more provocative."
