More From Norman MacCaig
- "All those authors there, most of whom of course I’ve never met. That’s the poetry side, that’s the prose side, that’s the fishing and miscellaneous behind me. You get an affection for books that you’ve enjoyed."
- "When I was asked to be Writer in Residence at Edinburgh I thought, you can’t teach poetry. This is ridiculous."
- "And the second question, can poetry be taught? I didn’t think so."
