More From Robert Morgan
- "The Language Poets are writing only about language itself. The Ashbery poets are writing only about poetry itself. That seems to me a kind of dead end."
- "Teaching writing over the years intrudes on your own writing in important ways, taking away some of the excitement of poetry."
- "What actually makes poetry poetry is of course impossible to define. We recognize it when we hear it, when we see it, but we can’t define it."

- "Well, yeah. At a certain point, you’ve got to be really honest with yourself. Like, ‘Why am I doing this? What are my motivations?’ Like, if you get into it because you want to be famous? Then you’ve got a long row to hoe. But if you really feel like it’s a labour of love and it’s something you’re actually legitimately good at, then it’s not that hard to keep plugging away."― Will Arnett
