More In Poetry
- "I think that is where poetry reading becomes such an individual thing. I mean I have friend who like poets who just don’t say anything to me at all, I mean they seem to me rather ordinary and pedestrian."― James Laughlin
- "Writing criticism is to writing fiction and poetry as hugging the shore is to sailing in the open sea."― John Updike
