"Being identified as a poet in France or Denmark or India one is greeted with gracious respect." "In the world of poetry there are would-be poets, workshop poets, promising poets, lovesick poets, university poets, and a few real poets." More In Poetry "I think that it’s more likely that in my 60s and 70s I will be writing poetry rather than fiction."― Robert Morgan "Poetry is really a way of sharing feelings and ideas."― Caroline Kennedy "They need to learn poetry. They don’t need to learn about poetry. They don’t need to be told how to interpret poetry. They don’t need to be told how to understand poetry. They need to learn it."― Peter Davison
