More In Poetry "Cut quarrels out of literature, and you will have very little history or drama or fiction or epic poetry left."― Robert Staughton Lynd "From reading a previous answer, you know that I consider all those aspects to be part of American cultural myth and thus they figure into good American poetry, whether the poet is aware of what he is doing or not."― Diane Wakoski "I cannot speak for more than an hour exclusively about poetry.
