More From Kenneth Koch
- "I was excited by what my painter friends were doing, and they seemed to be interested in our poetry too, and that was a wonderful little, fizzy sort of world."
- "I love painting and music, of course. I don’t know nearly as much about them as I know about poetry. I’ve certainly been influenced by fiction. I was overwhelmed by War and Peace when I read it, and I didn’t read it until I was in my late 20s."
- "As for political poetry, as it’s usually defined, it seems there’s very little good political poetry."

- "I love criticism just so long as it’s unqualified praise."― Noel Coward
- "The processes of teaching the child that everything cannot be as he wills it are apt to be painful both to him and to his teacher."― Anne Sullivan Macy
