"You don’t help people in your poems. I’ve been trying to help people all my life – that’s my trouble." ― Charles Olson Topic(s): Poetry More From Charles Olson "This morning of the small snow I count the blessings, the leak in the faucet which makes of the sink time, the drop of the water on water." "I don’t live for poetry. I live far more than anybody else does." More In Poetry "It’s not easy to define poetry."― Bob Dylan "If there is a gay uniform, the differences are in how each man coordinates the details: the brand and cut of the jeans, the design of belts and boots, the haircut, the number and size of earrings."― Lance Loud "Well I guess the plan was to write poetry and publish books and make a living from writing poetry. That was a pretty ambitious plan I guess."― Robert Adamson
