"I wish you would read a little poetry sometimes. Your ignorance cramps my conversation." ― Anthony Hope Topic(s): Poetry More In Poetry "Solitude is very important in my work as a mode of inspiration, but isolation is not good in this respect. I am not writing poetry about isolation."― Wislawa Szymborska "In poetry, you must love the words, the ideas and the images and rhythms with all your capacity to love anything at all."― Wallace Stevens "I think that great poetry is the most interesting and complex use of the poet’s language at that point in history, and so it’s even more exciting when you read a poet like Yeats, almost 100 years old now, and you think that perhaps no one can really top that."― Diane Wakoski
