"Gil Thorpe is a great diversion and is to book writing as poetry is to prose."― Jerry B. Jenkins Topic(s): PoetryMore From Jerry B. Jenkins"While writing my first 90 books, I was magazine editor, publisher, book publisher, executive, etc., so I was established in publishing. three of my seven or so books were biographies of sports stars and really opened doors for me in that area.""People are scared to death and they’re looking for something beyond themselves.""My dream remains to inform and entertain through fiction in the form of novels and movies that compete in the marketplace of ideas."More In Poetry"That is what I did with Jack, and that’s why he liked to do the readings with me because he knew I was there for him, and for our ability to blend the poetry and the music."― David Amram"Written poetry is different. Best thing is to see it in performance first, then read it. Performance is more provocative."― Adrian Mitchell"If poetry alters the way in which the reader views the world, then it has had its desired effect."― John Barton
